He revealed a personal goal to improve his fitness and health by 2026, stating, “As you get older, it’s much harder, but I really want to get fitter.” This commitment stems from advice he received from his doctor, who warned him about his high risk of heart disease, a condition that affected his father, who passed away at age 59.
Diet Changes and Fitness Journey

During the interview, he humorously noted that despite his health-conscious approach, he still enjoys treats like Haribo and occasionally indulges in sweets, emphasizing the importance of balance in his diet.
Bradley has revealed that he previously struggled with high cholesterol, describing himself as a “time bomb.” His doctor urged him to take his health seriously, leading him to cut back on fatty foods and alcohol.
A Milestone Year
Turning 60 was a significant milestone for Bradley, and he reflected on the importance of surpassing his father’s age. He mentioned this poignant moment, stating, “I had it in the back of my mind that I just had to get past my dad’s age.”
As Bradley continues to tackle his health struggles, he remains hopeful and committed to achieving his goals. Viewers can catch him on Gladiators, where he shares his positive outlook on life and health.
