Bradley Riches, an Emmerdale actor, claims he has already invited his pals from the Netflix teen series Heartstopper and Celebrity Big Brother to his wedding to Scott Johnston in April.
Emmerdale newcomer Bradley Riches says things are going so well on the soap that he’ll need to expand the guest-list at his wedding next year.
The Heartstopper star, 23, says he’s already invited his pals from the hit Netflix teen series and Celebrity Big Brother to his marriage to Scott Johnston next April, at an English manor house. “I’ll probably end up inviting the whole Emmerdale cast,” he laughed. “I’ll have been filming for over a year by then So, yes, we’ll definitely need to expand the guest list.”

He says that landing a role in the long-running ITV soap would have been particularly special for one family member. “It was my grandad Peter’s favourite soap. I’ve always had a special connection with Emmerdale. Maybe it was his parting gift. He’d have been buzzing.”
Bradley, who is primarily credited with playing James McEwan in Heartstopper, claims he is ignoring those who have criticised him for the new role. He says, “In this industry, you’ve always expected that, which is sad to say, about the negative comments he’s had about joining Emmerdale.” Some people won’t like it because I’m my true and authentic self. I was anticipating it: a happy, gay, autistic person, delighted to have a new job. Naturally, that has a negative component within it. However, a lot of optimism drowned it out. I’m having a truly amazing time. No one will stop me from having this experience.
In the soap he will make his first appearance as Lewis Barton next week, making him the brother of Ross Barton, played by Michael Michael Parr. “My mum was Emma Barton who was killed some years ago by Moira Dingle, who is like a second mum to Ross. I reach out to him to say I’d love to meet him and know more about my mum but when we meet, we don’t see eye to eye. I’m very to-the-point and have a thousand questions I want answered, which scares Ross. So they really don’t create that brotherly bond and I leave. Obviously, I return! For Lewis, expect the unexpected – he’s got a few secrets up his sleeve.”
Bradley claims that Michael has made it easier for him to adjust to the set. My first five weeks with Mike were spent just us two, so I have a special bond with him. He and I are like brothers, and he is very protective of me. You’re now under my wing, he says. which is so lovely. Some people were a little hostile when I announced my role, and he said, “No, this is not happening.
And he’s already looking forward to other projects, even though he’s thoroughly enjoying his time on the soap. I’m happy to be doing this because I’m learning so much from Emmerdale and it’s so quickly-paced. However, I’d really like to do Strictly in the future.
