Bradley Walsh and son Barney are set to reunite on screen in a new Saturday night show, it has been reported.
The Chase host and his travel show co-star son are allegedly being lined up for a massive new gig.
According to The Sun, the duo are being courted by producers of the Gladiators reboot.
Bradley and son Bradley to host Gladiators?
A source claimed: “The BBC loves the idea of having a unique duo fronting Gladiators and that’s what hiring a father and son gives them.
“It’s certainly a break from the presenters the show had previously. They already know they have a great dynamic, thanks to appearing together on their travelogue, Breaking Dad, as well as drama, The Larkins.
“They also realise getting Brad to front the show with Barney is a bit of a coup because he’s already one of the busiest men on telly.”
The original series ran from 1992 to 1996 with John Fashanu and Ulrika Jonsson hosting on ITV before being axed.
It was then brought back for a year in 1999 before being axed again.
In 2008 Sky attempted a revival hosted by Ian Wright and Kirsty Gallacher but it lasted just one year.
Earlier this year it was reported that the BBC are now lining the show up for a third return.
And it’s claimed Bradley and Barney are being lined up to host.
The BBC declined to comment on this story.
