ITV Emmerdale's Vinny Dingle star Bradley Johnson inundated with support after family news

Emmerdale actor Bradley Johnson has received a wave of support following an exciting family update. The actor, known for playing Vinny Dingle in the beloved ITV soap, is certainly navigating through intense on-screen drama following the death of Vinny's partner, Liv, in 2022, and his consequent struggle to come to terms with the loss.

Off-screen, however, Bradley's personal life appears to be full of joy. He got engaged to Sammie Johnstone last year, and the couple have recently let fans in on some delightful news - they are expecting their first child.

Alongside a snapshot of a cake bearing the words "Mum and Dad.", they broke the news to their followers, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Bradley's Emmerdale co-stars were quick to take to the comments section to offer their congratulations following the announcement. Lisa Riley expressed: "LOVE YOU BOTH SO SO SO SO MUCH. At long long last I can tell everyone-you are both going to be the absolute BEST! ! ! So excited! ! ! ! I've said congratulations to you both over a hundred times."

Natalie Ann Jamieson chimed in with: "OMG baby bradders! ! ! Congrats you gorgeous pair, couldn't be happier for you." While Isabel Hodgins stated: "So happy for you both! ! ! ! Xx".
