Bradley Riches recently shared an interesting experience where he had to feign surprise in front of ITV executives upon learning about a major upcoming storyline in Emmerdale. The 24-year-old actor disclosed that he was informed in advance about his friend and co-star Chris Coghill’s comeback as Kev Townsend to the fictional village.

Rather than giving away the secret, Bradley had to act astonished when the show’s producers unveiled the storyline involving Chris’s character. Kev’s return to Dales coincided with a gripping plotline following Lewis’s abduction by Kev’s former partner, Kylie, who demanded a stolen diamond in exchange for Lewis’s safety.

During the intense storyline, Kev dropped a bombshell revelation that he is Lewis’s biological father. Bradley, who is currently on a break from filming after getting married to Scott Johnston in April, acknowledged that he was aware of Chris’s return even before ITV officially announced it.

Bradley expressed admiration for Chris, highlighting how the seasoned actor’s instinctual approach has been a valuable lesson for him to trust his own instincts both as an actor and as a person. The duo has bonded over their time working together, with Bradley emphasizing the importance of such events like the Peugeot Attitude Pride Awards Europe in London, which hold significance for the LGBTQ+ community.

Looking ahead, Bradley revealed plans to embark on exciting travels with his spouse during his time off from the show. The couple aims to unwind and enjoy some well-deserved relaxation after a hectic year.
