Bradley Walsh has given his son Barney half of his fortune.
The Chase host has a close bond with 25-year-old Barney so much so that he has made his a director at two of his companies. The 62-year-old owns Barnstormer Holdings Ltd and Wingit Productions Ltd and they are not short of cash.

Barney was added a director to Bradley's other business, Wingit Productions, in March 2020.
Wingit Productions is the company which is behind the former Wheel of Fortune host's TV earnings - such as The Chase and its spin-offs. The last set of accounts showed that the business had over £12.5 million of assets.
Bradley and Barney have their own series on ITV - Bradley Walsh and Son: Breaking Dad, which has the synopsis of their "coming of age road trip" around the world. The first two seasons saw the duo drive across the United States and partaking in various wild adventures along the way.
Those activities include a skydive, feeding alligators, ghost hunting and attempting to rodeo to hysterical results. The most recent two seasons saw the pair embark on a 3,000-mile trip around Europe, still with their crazy antics.

In April, he was forced to apologise after breaking part of the show's set after
