"I've actually got quite a lot of famous friends, I didn't realise."
Emmerdale actor Bradley Riches is set to tie the knot with his partner Scott Johnston later this month, and has revealed that whole host of famous faces are set to attend the big day.
Rising to fame on Heartstopper, the star took part in Celebrity Big Brother 2024 and was cast as Lewis Barton in the ITV soap a year ago.
Over the course of his career over the last few years, he had amassed quite a few celebrity friends, something he said was a bit of a shock.
"I think all of the Big Brother lot are actually coming. Like David [Potts], Colson [Smith], Nikita [Kuzmin], Sharon [Osbourne], Levi [Roots], Zeze [Millz], Marisha [Wallace], Ekin-Su [Cülcüloğlu], and other people I've met along the way, like Arlene Phillips, Tasha [Ghouri] from Love Island.
"Just lots of people I've met through the industry and ones I've shared big moments in my career with. It's going to be really nice.
"We were kind of like, obviously we will invite our loved ones and all our friends, and then I looked at the list and went, 'Oh my god, I've actually got quite a lot of famous friends, I didn't realise'. I was like, 'Maybe I am embedded in the industry slowly'."

Speaking more specifically about his friendship with The X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne and her daughter Kelly, Riches touched on Ozzy's recent death and said: "They're such amazing people - what they've been through."
As well as getting married, Riches will also be releasing his new book Autistically Me: How to Understand and Celebrate Our Autistic Minds.
Releasing on 9 June, it will include guidance on navigating social situations, getting an official diagnosis, and managing sensory overload and negative thoughts.
Meanwhile, his Emmerdale character Lewis is currently having a romance with Vinny Dingle, with the actor praising the soap for representing a neurodiverse person in a relationship.
