Vinny Dingle, a charming character in Emmerdale who has been mourning a tragic loss, is played by Bradley Johnson.
Emmerdale has been commemorating its 50th anniversary on ITV with a terrible storm that has already proven fatal for a few characters. Unluckily, one of them was Liv Dingle, the wife of Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson), who was killed when a caravan that was caught in the terrifying winds crushed her to death. As Vinny struggles to accept his loss, viewers are heartbrokenly watching.
How old is Emmerdale’s Vinny Dingle actor Bradley Johnson?
Bradley Johnson, an Emmerdale actor, hasn’t revealed his precise age to the public, but it’s assumed he’s 24.
His on-screen wife, Isobel Steele, who is 21 years old, is a few years younger than him.
Despite having a few TV appearances under his belt before starring in Emmerdale, Johnson joined the ITV soap in 2019.
Before the drama, he worked on several other projects, such as Five Days, Harriet’s Army, and Shameless.
Johnson, however, rose to fame as a singer in 2017 after participating in the BBC talent competition Let it Shine.
When his audition performance of Bring Him Home from the musical Les Misérables went viral, he quickly gained notoriety.
Johnson secured a spot in the final even though he didn’t take home the trophy.
The 24-year-old is still showcasing his musical abilities despite shifting his focus to acting.
Fans of the soap opera are in awe of Johnson after hearing him perform on The Woolpack Session’s Emmerdale YouTube channel.
He told the Metro the following about his online performances: “I’m singing a song in my living room alone for the first time ever in front of the general public. Hopefully it will cheer up a few people.”
Johnson enjoys hanging out with his friends, his mother, and their Malti-shi puppy, Barney, in their Yorkshire home when he isn’t performing.
Sammie, Johnson’s girlfriend, and he have been together for a year. They recently celebrated their anniversary.
The Emmerdale actor captioned a sweet gallery of pictures of them together on Instagram, “1 year with my soulmate!! How quickly the days pass.
“We’ve accomplished so much together! Let’s hope for many more! I adore you! @sammiejojo92”.
Mandy Dingle (Lisa Riley) and Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) gave Vinny the rescue dog Chip that Vinny and his now-deceased wife had planned to adopt after Liv’s passing on Emmerdale.
The adorable dog was initially rejected by Vinny, but he soon came to love his new companion after she brought him a picture of himself and Liv after the photo frame fell to the ground.
After Steele left Emmerdale, Johnson paid tribute to his co-star.
“What can I say… 3 years working with this legend,” he wrote.
“What a few years they have been! Vinny and Liv have gone through a lot, from quitting drinking to almost passing out in a bar, fleeing to get married, and then getting run over by a caravan.
But it has been an absolute dream to be a part of the @emmerdale 50th and have this plotline!
Go ahead and succeed, @isobelsteelee, but don’t forget to think of me when you’re in Hollywood. I’m going to miss you so much, xxx. (sic)
