Celebrity Big Brother star Bradley Riches has revealed what it’s been like keeping in touch with his fellow housemates, revealing that one element of Louis Walsh’s texts makes him feel ‘sick’.

On Sunday night, Heartstopper’s Bradley was one of the many stars who were guests at London’s Royal Festival Hall for the glitzy Bafta TV Awards, where shows including Happy Valley and Top Boy were some of the big winners of the night.

The 22-year-old recently finished in sixth place on Celebrity Big Brother, entering the House with other celebrities including Sharon Osbourne, Fern Britton, Nikita Kuzmin and winner David Potts.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk on the Bafta red carpet, he revealed that there is a group chat, but ‘some people aren’t in it’.

‘There’s a group chat and obviously some people aren’t in it, but I speak to everyone individually. I got along with everyone,’ he shared.

‘I got to know everyone and we still message.’

He then revealed the different ways that former X Factor judges Sharon, 71, and Louis, 71, exchange messages with him.

The former ‘texts like an email’, Bradley shared, referring to him as ‘dear baby boy’ and signing off her messages: ‘Lots of love, Sharon.’

Louis, on the other hand, apparently messages as though he’s still in his teen years.

‘Louis texts like a teenage boy with loads of emojis, it makes me feel sick how many emojis he sends,’ Bradley told us with a smile.

‘But yeah, I love everyone in the House. Everyone’s been amazing.’

Louis was reported to have been paid a jaw-dropping amount to appear on Celebrity Big Brother, claiming that he earned around £850,000, after it was rumoured that his fee had been closed to £350,000.

He and Sharon set tongues wagging on multiple occasions when they were in the House, including when they chatted about their former X Factor co-star Simon Cowell.

Bradley appears in Netflix series Heartstopper as James, a student who has a crush on Isaac (Tobie Donovan).

He’s set to return for season three, which he gave us a little bit of a tease about on the red carpet shortly before a clip was released of lead characters Nick (Kit Connor) and Charlie (Joe Locke).

‘I think I’m allowed to say that it’s more mature. All the audience who are watching the show, they’re all growing up with the show, so it’s definitely more mature,’ Bradley revealed.

‘But it’s the same cast that everyone loves and adores. Go and watch it!’

Celebrity Big Brother is available to watch on ITVX. The Bafta TV Awards are available to watch on BBC iPlayer. Heartstopper is available to watch on Netflix.
