Barney Walsh, the son of Bradley Walsh, the beloved host of The Chase, has offered fans a sneak peek into his lavish Essex home. Nestled in Epping, Barney, 27, shares a luxurious £2.5 million barn conversion with his mum Donna Derby and Bradley. This dream home boasts five bedrooms, its own sauna, a gym, and even an outdoor swimming pool.
Although Bradley and Barney are quite private on social media, we’ve had the chance to see inside their stunning home during various TV appearances, and sometimes we can get a glimpse inside the gorgeous mansion. In one ITV interview, the pair gave us a tour of their ‘man cave’ shed, complete with memorabilia like a poster from Tonight at the London Palladium, which Bradley hosted, and a drum kit for those impromptu jam sessions.

During another interview, viewers caught sight of the house’s charming interior, featuring plenty of exposed wooden beams that add a rustic yet stylish touch. During a segment of Bradley celebrating turning 60 on This Morning, he broadcast live from his home office, where we saw his white walls and the classic wooden doors leading to other parts of his residence. A pine bookcase filled with framed photos and ornaments added a personal touch to the space.
The pair are clearly close, and they even hosted the Gladiators BBC reboot together, which went down a hit with viewers who were fans of the original series. However, Barney is perhaps best known for playing Cameron “Cam” Mickelthwaite in Casualty.
It’s clear that Bradley’s current lifestyle is worlds apart from his early days in a council house in Watford. He once reflected on his roots in an interview with The Telegraph, saying: “I was born in Watford, and grew up in a council house.”

Bradley opened up about his humble beginnings, sharing: “My mother was a single parent who had to struggle hard to make ends meet. At one point, she was holding down three different jobs. It was a happy childhood, but we certainly didn’t have a great deal of money.”
Now, the charming TV personality holds the title of one of television’s richest presenters with a cool net worth of £6.45million, out-earning even popular stars Ant and Dec as well as Dermot O’Leary.
With 23 years of marriage under his belt, Bradley and his wife, former professional dancer and choreographer Donna, are a regular sight dazzling on the red carpet together.

In his personal life, Bradley is the dad to 38-year-old Hayley Walsh, his daughter from a previous relationship.
Before lighting up television screens, he enjoyed a stint as a pro footballer and got his break in television, presenting the National Lottery in 1994 on BBC One. He then continued to enchant audiences, taking over hosting duties for game shows, including Wheel Of Fortune in 1997.
While most know him today as the witty host of The Chase, Bradley’s also made his mark as an actor with roles in hit series such as Coronation Street and Doctor Who.
