Emmerdale casts Heartstopper star as mysterious new regular

Riches, 23, is perhaps best known for his role in Heartstopper, where he plays James McEwan.

Last year, he appeared in Celebrity Big Brother, where he came 6th.

The identity of the actor playing Riches in Emmerdale remains a mystery at this point, as the soap opera has chosen to keep that information confidential until a future announcement when all details will be revealed.

Fans can see Riches on screen in May.

Regarding his latest position, Riches expressed his immense enthusiasm, stating, “I can’t contain my excitement to become part of Emmerdale! It feels like a dream come true for me, given that it was my grandfather’s favorite soap opera. I just imagine him being absolutely thrilled!

As a devoted cinema enthusiast, I’m beyond excited to share that Bradley is joining our beloved Emmerdale family! His blend of skill, charm, and humor make him an ideal fit for this fresh Emmerdale character. I can hardly wait to see his contributions!

We’ve got some fantastic tales lined up for him, and we can hardly wait for the viewers to witness Bradley breathe life into his freshly created persona on-screen.
