Bradley Walsh’s son Barney lands role in major BBC drama

BRADLEY Walsh’s son Barney has landed a role in a major BBC drama.

The 24-year-old is best known for the ITV series he stars in alongside his famous father, Bradley Walsh & Son: Breaking Dad.

However Barney has also followed in Bradley's acting footsteps in recent years and stars alongside his dad in The Larkins.

Now, Barney has been announced as one of the guest stars in series 12 of hit BBC drama, Death in Paradise.

In a post on the show's official Twitter page, Barney was seen beaming for the camera as he posed at the controls for a boat.

The caption read: "We’re thrilled to announce #TheLarkins’ Barney Walsh is one of our series 12 guest stars!"

Fans of the show and Barney were delighted by the news, with one writing: "Yay, love Barney Walsh. Looking forward to watching the episode he's guest starring in."

Another added: "Yes...love Barney."

A third tweeted: "Awww bless luvly lad."

Barney isn't the only guest star confirmed for the twelfth series of Death in Paradise, which sees Ralf Little play lead detective Neville Parker.

Kate and Koji star Okorie Chukwu and After Life's Jo Hartley were also revealed to be taking part on the same day as Barney.

Meanwhile, Grantchester's Fiona Button, Peep Show's Robert Webb and Sanditon's Kevin Eldon have been previously confirmed.

However, fans of the show were left shocked by Les Dennis' transformation when he was announced as a guest star last week.

In his cast shot, Les' usual grey hair has been ditched for darker locks and he is sporting a very bronzed tan.

His character is also wearing a light blue blazer and black T-shirt in the official Death In Paradise photograph.

The exact details about who Les, 69, plays is being kept tightly under wraps.

Death in Paradise airs on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
