Emmerdale actor Bradley Riches recently shared insights about his close bond with fellow Celebrity Big Brother participant Sharon Osbourne, praising her resilience after the passing of her spouse, Ozzy. The 24-year-old soap star and the former X Factor judge developed a strong friendship during their time on CBB in 2024.
Since the reality show, the pair has maintained a strong connection, even meeting for brunch with Sharon’s daughter, Kelly Osbourne. Five months after Ozzy’s death, Bradley commended the duo as “very strong women.”
Reflecting on their reunion, Bradley mentioned to The Daily Mail that they had planned to meet earlier but postponed due to the family tragedy. Eventually, they gathered at Claridge’s hotel for a meal, a far cry from Bradley’s initial expectation of a casual McDonald’s rendezvous. He noted Sharon’s gesture of settling the bill, adding to the heartwarming experience.
Ozzy Osbourne’s passing in July 2025 deeply impacted the Osbourne family, with Sharon struggling to cope without him, Jack displaying emotional vulnerability during his time on I’m A Celebrity, and Kelly experiencing difficulty with eating due to grief.
Bradley and his partner, Scott Johnston, are gearing up for their upcoming wedding, where Sharon Osbourne and other well-known figures, including friends from Emmerdale and Big Brother, are expected to attend. The guest list boasts a mix of familiar faces, prompting Bradley to acknowledge his growing circle of celebrity acquaintances.
The actor shared his engagement news online through charming photos capturing the momentous occasion against the backdrop of Sorrento, Italy. Expressing his joy, Bradley declared his love for Scott in a heartfelt post.
