Bradley Riches lands huge new role hours after shock Celebrity Big Brother eviction
BRADLEY Riches has landed a huge new role just hours after his shock Celebrity Big Brother eviction.
The actor was the seventh celebrity to leave the house just ONE day before the final.
Despite missing out on a chance of winning the ITV show, it has now been announced that the star has joined the cast of the new West End musical Babies.
He is set to take the lead role of James in the production, which will run for six weeks at The Other Palace from May 31 to July 14, 2024.
Alongside him are a string of fresh faces, including Ashley Goh, Jaina Brock-Patel, Lauren Conroy, Lucy Carter and more.
Written by Jack Godfrey and Martha Geelan, the show follows a group of year 11 students each tasked with looking after a robot baby for sex education.
Tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased from TodayTix, but act fast as they are expected to sell out quickly.
The news comes just hours after the actor’s brutal dumping from the Celebrity Big Brother house.
The remaining celebrities were treated to visits from their loved ones.
However, Bradley’s was a little different – as host AJ Odudu greeted him instead and showed him the door.
On his show exit, Bradley said: “I’ve had so much fun, I feel fine,
“I didn’t think I was gonna make it this so far, and I love everyone in there and I’m so proud of everyone, and I’m very thankful, very grateful and very happy.”
Bradley sadly missed out on a place in the final, but this means that one of the remaining five housemates will be crowned winner of the series tonight.
Either Corrie’s Colson Smith, Strictly’s Nikita Kuzmin, TV presenter Fern Britton, X Factor legend Louis Walsh and Ibiza Weekender‘s David Potts will be crowned winner.
