Speaking about Barney, he said: “We do [get on well].

“He’s a great lad Barney. I’ve said it on many occasions – he’s the person I always wanted to be.

“He’s got wonderful humility, he’s very sensitive. He takes after his mum, thankfully.

“He’s much more gentle than I am.”

The Chase controversy

Bradley has also responded to accusations about the speed he reads the questions on The Chase.

After viewers complained, he explained that the average time to read a question and get an answer is between 3.6 and 4 seconds – very precise!

He previously told Radio Times: “If you’re a contestant and I go ‘What’s… the capital… of France…’, they’d be dead and buried in 30 seconds.

“I have to make sure they get up to speed and they’re getting about 18 or 19 questions answered correctly. That’s the real banana skin score.”
