Emmerdale's bradley riches 'crying' as he bids emotional farewell to itv co-star

Emmerdale's Bradley Riches admitted he was 'crying' as he bid farewell to an ITV co-star on Wednesday night. Heartstopper star Bradley, 23, has recently joined the village as

Ross Barton's long-lost half-brother Lewis. Telly fans will recognise Lewis star Bradley from hit Netflix series Heartstopper as well as Celebrity Big Brother, where he competed on the

2024 series alongside Coronation Street's Colson Smith. On Wednesday night's episode of Coronation Street, Colson's, 26, character Craig Tinker was killed off after 14 years

on the cobbles. Taking to Instagram, Colson shared a collection of pictures of himself in character and from his final scenes, writing: "My dump from my final block as Craig Tinker on

Coronation Street. Thank you for having me." Responding in the comments, Bradley bid farewell as he penned: "Yep crying x." Bradley wasn't the only emotional commenter as

several of Colson's Corrie co-stars, past and present, were left in tears. Lucy Fallon, who plays Bethany Platt, penned: "i try to say gdbye n i choke" with heartbreak

emojis. Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Battersby, put a crying emoji. While Brooke Vincent, who played Sophie Webster, commented: "Crying" with a tear emoji. On Wednesday's

episode, Craig was attacked by an angry and drunk Mick Michaelis who was searching for Kit Green, looking for revenge. Unfortunately it was Craig who received Mick's wrath as he pulled

him over for speeding and drink driving, where he attacked him with a baseball bat. Craig later passed away in hospital, leaving the cobbles' residents absolutely heartbroken and

stunned. This marks a huge exit for Coronation Street as Craig has been a staple in Weatherfield since 2011. This follows Colson's announcement earlier this year about exiting the

popular soap opera, where he shared: "Autumn last year I was told that Craig Tinkers time on the Cobbles is to come to end in 2025." He continued to say: "I've LOVED

every single second of my 14 year stay as a resident on the GREATEST street in the world. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation street. "I've learnt

pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home. I'm excited to play out the exit story for Our Craigy. "For Me, this is just the end of the beginning. I

genuinely can't wait to see what chapter 2 has in store for me. LONG LIVE THE COBBLES!" CORONATION STREET CONTINUES ON MONDAYS, WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AT 8PM ON ITV AND ITV X.
