The actor, famed for playing Vinny Dingle in the ITV soap, took to social media with an adorable snap
Emmerdale star Bradley Johnson has melted the heart of his co-star – and fans – as he revealed a little visitor had headed onto the famous set.
The actor, famed for playing Vinny Dingle in the ITV soap, took to social media with an adorable snap of himself in the home of the iconic Dingle family, Wishing Well Cottage, with his newborn son.
Back in June, Bradley confirmed he and his fiancée Sammie Johnston are expecting their first child together. The happy couple announced the news with a snap of a heart-shaped cake with the words: “Baby coming December 2024,” written on top of it, surrounded by pictures from an ultrasound scan as well as a number of polaroid images showing the parents-to-be beaming for the camera.
But their baby boy made an early appearance, with Bradley confirming his arrival on Instagram in November alongside the first pictures of the new arrival.
“Albie Jake Johnson You are absolutely everything,” he captioned the post which confirmed his and Sammi’s son arrived on November 19, weighing six pounds 18 ounces.
And now, as he approached a month in the world, baby Albie has already been given a tour of the Dingles by his proud dad. Sharing the sweet picture of them both on the iconic set in Leeds, Bradley wrote on Instagram: “Take your baby to work day! Albie got to see the famous dingle set #emmerdale #itv #dingles #baby #takeyourbabytoworkday.”
On-screen mum Lisa Riley, who plays Emmerdale’s Mandy Dingle, was quick to respond to the post, writing: “My heart is actually melting,” alongside a string of yellow heart emojis, while Matty Barton actor Ash Palmisciano commented a number of love heart eyes emojis.
