Back in August 2022, Bradley posted a sweet tribute to Sammie to mark their one year anniversary. He wrote: "1 year with my soulmate!! How time flies. We have done so much together! Here is to many more!! Love you @sammiejojo92."

Bradley had previously been linked to his co-star Isobel Steele, who played Liv Dingle on the ITV soap until her character's untimely death last year in a horror storm. Clarifying they were just pals, 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."
