This year see's Bradley taking a lead in Heartstoppers Season 3 and also Wreck, a brilliant new drama on BBC 3. Bradley has been most well known for playing James McEwan in Netflix's Heartstopper but his profile has now gone stratospheric since his 2 week stay in the Celebrity Big Brother House on ITV.
Recently we saw Bradley in the critically acclaimed hit Saltburn and also in the Hollywood film 1917 and saw him working alongside some highly esteemed actors, directors and producers honing his talent.
After deciding to accept an offer to appear in Celebrity Big Brother, he has since become a much loved participant included in a star studded line up with nightly screenings of the show. Bradley has revealed all of his talents of singing, dancing and acting during his time in Big Brother, around the house and during the tasks and games delighting an ITV audience of millions. His sole motive was to shine a light on autism and neurodiversity and raise awareness of the day to day struggles they have. On top of his advocacy for autism, he spearheaded a campaign on loneliness in youths for the Government.
Bradley was diagnosed with autism at the age of 9yrs old, which was not an easy journey for his family to achieve, it took years to get the proper diagnosis as Bradleywas non verbal until he was 10yrs old but slowly began to understand his diagnosis and what it means for him. To raise further awareness about his Childhood and experience with autism, Bradley achieved another milestone with the release of his debut book, A Different Kind of Superpower, co-authored with James A Lyons. Drawing from his personal experiences growing up as an autistic boy, the children's book resonates deeply with Bradley's journey and aspirations and he wants to continue writing books to help youngsters understand their disability and encourage them to aspire to be the best they can be and achieve their dreams
Bradley has cultivated a substantial following on social media, boasting 585k Instagram followers and 1 million TikTok followers. He utilises his platform not only to advocate for neurodiversity awareness but also to champion LGBTQIA+ rights. Bradley would love to continue his journey as an actor. He is passionate about his art and theatre, but he is also keen to learn a multitude of roles in the media from more TV, radio, stage as well as more big screen films. Plus even a cover of the track 'Flying Without Wings' by Westlife has been mentioned after he wowed Big Brother with his rendition of the track. Bradley's next project will be a musical at The Other Palace, which was home to Heathers the Musical and he is throwing all his enthusiasm and talent behind this project as he has done with everything else he has achieves. Babies is a coming of age, brand new pop-rock musical about being a young person right now. It follows nine year 11 students over a week in their life. It's a fresh, heart-wrenching musical about identity, friendship and growing up. It's got a stellar star studded cast and crew.
The future is much more than bright for Bradley.
