Harry Potter and Game of Thorones star David Bradley isn't the only famous face in his family. The acclaimed actor, 83, shares three children with his wife of seven years Rosanna and their eldest child, son George, is also a familiar face, having appeared on ITV's Love Your Home And Garden with Alan Titchmarsh. The show was a spin off of Alan's show Love Your Garden and ran for two series on the broadcaster between 2017 and off and 2018.

George is an architect who, along with Ewald Van er Straeten, is a director of Bradley Van Der Straeten, an award winning residential architects based in London. The pair have been friends since university and began their business in 2007. Speaking about landing a role on the popular show George said: "Working on the show with Alan Titchmarsh and the team has been a real privilege for us as architects.

"We both believe in the power that good design has to change peoples' lives. To transform the homes of families who have faced consistent challenges and to be able to empower them, through their newly designed homes to achieve independence, happiness and increased well-being is why we do what we do."

Along with Alan and fellow presenters Katie Rushworth and Kunle Barker, the duo transformed the homes and gardens of deserving people across the country.

One job included converting the home of a woman called Benita and her 15-year-old son Josh, who lives with multiple disabilities and uses a wheelchair, to make it more accessible.

Another makeover involved creating a living space to help a man with dementia stay safe, whilst improving the space for his family.

George isn't the only one of David's children who has enjoyed success in showbusiness. His daughter, Francesca, works in casting, and worked on legendary director Michael Bay's 6 Underground in 2019.

However some years prior to that, she had a big screen moment when she appeared briefly in Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets after she was invited to be an extra by director Chris Columbus. In a pivotal scene where David's character Argus Filch accuses Harry (Daniel Rascliffe) of killing his beloved cat, Mrs Norris, Francesca is seen briefly on screen.

David admitted the experience turned him into a "pushy parent" as he did his best to ensure she was seen. He said: "I just saw this one boy who was taller than her that just elbowed himself into the frame right in front of my daughter and I thought 'I've got to handle this, I can't have this', so suddenly I became this ambitious, pushy parent.

"I pushed my way through, acting my little socks off, and at the same time just manoeuvred this boy out of the way. In the premiere there she was, her little head just popped up for a second and I thought 'job done'."
