Other fans were questioning Bradley's true involvement in the stunt, given its level of difficulty and danger. One person tweeted: "I'm sorry but there is no way that’s Bradley Walsh at the top of there," while another wrote: "If that WAS you, that was incredible!"

Some fans reiterated the pleas they made at the end of episode one, calling for ITV to make the 30-minute episodes longer. One person tweeted: "Can we please have #BreakingDad for longer? It’s so much fun," while another wrote: "Hope this series gets an hour-long 9pm slot when the new @itv schedule starts in March with hour-long #corrie at 8pm, hint hint."
