The Chase’s Bradley Walsh is extremely close to his two children, Hayley and Barney. While The presenter, 63, regularly appears on Breaking Dad with his lookalike son, his daughter prefers to live life away from the spotlight, working as a MAR Reflexologist. Here’s what you need to know about Hayley Walsh…
Who is Hayley Walsh?
Hayley is Barney’s older half-sister and was born in 1982. While it looks like Hayley has a great relationship with her stepmum, Donna Derby, Bradley shares her with his ex, Debby Parker.
The 42-year-old currently lives in Hertfordshire with her husband, Tom, and son, Dax, whom she welcomed in 2021.
Speaking to Saga Magazine about his new role as a grandfather, a beaming Bradley joked: “I’m going to be a brilliant grandfather because I’ve got this trick. When the baby grows into a toddler, make sure you spend plenty of time with them, feeding them ice cream and Coca-Cola, and then give them back at just the right time and say to your children, ‘There you are, that’s what you were like.’”
Hayley and Barney’s sibling bond
Hayley and Barney clearly get along very well, despite their 15-year age gap. Hayley has previously posted snaps of her younger brother on Instagram, and sent him a sweet 21st birthday message back in 2018, writing: “Happy 21st Barns!!! Hope you’re having a blast in China, you deserve it all and more, we are all so proud of you xx Love you mate.”
She also shared a snap of Barney with their grandma, writing: “Happy 80th Nanny mags! @maggiebwalsh Happy travels little Bruvs @barneycpwalsh.”
What is Hayley Walsh’s job?
While Barney is clearly following Barney’s footsteps in the entertainment industry, Hayley has gone down a different road altogether! Her Instagram has revealed that she is a MAR reflexologist, and was trained at the London School of Reflexology.
Reflexology is a type of massage that can help with energy levels, the central nervous system and with sleep disorders. Hayley has an Instagram account dedicated to her work, which you can check out here.
