Bradley was previously thought to be dating his co-star Isobel Steele, who played Liv Dingle on the ITV soap until her character’s tragic death last year in a terrible storm. Clearing up the rumours, she said: “Brad is wonderful and such a good friend of mine. We are very similar and work really well together when we have scenes just us two.”

“I can see why people jumped to conclusions, seeing two characters spending time together on and off-screen! For the record, me and Brad are not in a relationship. We are just very good friends who enjoy each other’s company out of work as well as in work.”
