Bradley Riches has joined the cast of ‘Emmerdale' as a new regular character.
Known for his role in ‘Heartstopper' and for appearing in the last series of ‘Celebrity Big Brother', Riches who started filming in the Dales this week, will arrive onscreen in May. More details about his character will be revealed in the coming weeks.
Riches said: “I’m beyond excited to be joining ‘Emmerdale'! It’s a real bucket list moment for me, especially since it was my grandad’s favourite soap, I just know he’d be over the moon. Everyone has been so lovely and welcoming, and the village is even more amazing in real life. I absolutely love my character (though I can’t spill too much just yet!), and I’m just so grateful for this opportunity. I can’t wait for everyone to see what’s in store…”
‘Emmerdale' producer, Laura Shaw, added: “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Bradley to the ‘Emmerdale' family. Bradley brings a wealth of talent and his warmth, wit and charisma makes him perfect for this new ‘Emmerdale' role. We have some wonderful stories for him to play and we can't wait for the audience to see Bradley bring his new character bursting into life on screen.“
‘Emmerdale' airs weekday nights at 7.30pm on ITV and STV with episodes available for streaming on ITVX and STVPlayer.
