Actor Bradley joined the ITV soap in 2019 to take on the role of Vinny Dingle as he returned with mum Mandy Dingle. However, recently Vinny learned that Mandy isn’t his biological mother and she adopted him from her cousin Tina Dingle who didn’t want to raise him.
He’s also had his fair share of difficulties in the romance department since he first started dating Liv Flaherty in 2020 after they met during lockdown.
Unfortunately, things took a dark turn after Liv was killed off in 2022 to celebrate Emmerdale’s 50th anniversary.
Since then, Vinny has struck up a relationship with Gabby Thomas after years of being close friends.
Although the pair are currently engaged, his close friendship with newcomer Kammy Hadiq soon caused Vinny to get caught up with mixed signals as he leant into kiss Kammy.
Sadly, things have escalated for Vinny after he met up with Mike who he first started chatting to on an online forum.
Mike turned violent and brutally attacked Vinny while demanding thousands of pounds from him. As the police came to question Vinny in a recent episode about Mike’s actions, Vinny was desperate to keep it a secret from his loved ones – especially Gabby.
Away from the Dales, Bradley is engaged to fiancé Sammie and the pair welcomed their son, Albie earlier this year.
