Emmerdale’s Bradley Riches flooded with love as he says ‘I do’ to husband

The couple have been engaged since a trip to Sorrento in 2024

Emmerdale star Bradley Riches tied the knot with his now-husband Scott Johnston as the pair were flooded with love and support.

Bradley Riches made his Emmerdale debut last year as Lewis Barton, son of Emma Barton and newcomer Kev Townsend. During his time in the village, not only has he built up a relationship with older brother Ross Barton, but romance has blossomed between him and Vinny Dingle.

Away from the Dales, Bradley has been counting down the days until he can say “I do”. The actor got engaged to his partner Scott Johnston during a romantic getaway to Sorrento, Italy, in April 2024, which came shortly after Bradley’s stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Bradley then shared at the end of last year that they’ll be getting married in April 2026 as he wrote on social media: “4 months until we say ‘I do’” back in December.

As 2025 came to a close, Bradley shared the video of his proposal once more and added: “2020 was my favourite yet but… 2026 gonna be even better as I get to marry my best friend”.

On Thursday (April 9), Bradley took to his Instagram with a gorgeous photo of himself and now-husband Scott sharing a kiss on their wedding day.

He gushed: “Mr & Mr Johnston-Riches (white heart emoji) 08.04.26”. His comments were filled with congratulations, as his co-stars sent him love and support.

Katie Hill penned: “Omg can’t cope love you guys congratulations” and Lisa Riley added: “We love you so so so so much…can’t wait to celebrate when we are home CONGRATULATIONS you belters”.

With his day filled with love and support, just a few days before his wedding Bradley shared the sad news that his Nan had passed away.

Sharing a snap of younger him and his Nan, he wrote: “Never did I think I would be saying goodbye to my Nan just days before my wedding Before my nan passed, she told me she’d be with me on my big day… and I know she will be.

“She loved Scott so much- never questioned us, just loved us fully. I will miss you every day. See ya later love you xxx”.

Emmerdale airs on weeknights at 8pm on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
