However, it appears baby Albie arrived a little earlier than first expected.

Bradley is currently engaged to his fiancée Sammie Johnstone, and have been together since August 2021.

He proposed to Sammie while the couple were on holiday in Rome. While the pair posed outside the Colosseum, Brad shared the caption: “When in Rome…” with an engagement ring emoji.

In the world of Emmerdale, Vinny is currenly loved up with young mum Gabby Thomas after the death of his wife Liv Flaherty – a big change from his less dramatic love life away from the cameras.
