Emmerdale star Bradley Johnson has revealed that he’s excited to be a part of a soap first in the special lockdown episodes.
The actor — who portrays Vinny in the long-running ITV soap — is set to feature heavily during one of the special lockdown instalments broadcast next week, which will find his character Vinny isolating with Mandy (Lisa Riley) in the salon.
Bradley said: ‘It was an absolute privilege to be asked, it’s such a great idea and so relevant to what is going on in the world right now.
‘It’s a great way to delve deeper into Mandy and Vinny’s life and what happened in the past.
‘I’m excited to see it and it’s the first time a soap has ever done anything like this!
‘It’s really nice because it’s so relevant and it’s a huge part of what is going on in the world right now, it’s reflecting what is going on in people’s lives and they can relate to it.
‘I’m also excited to explore more about Mandy and Vinny’s past and to learn more about them.’
While in lockdown, the pair discuss Vinny’s dad Paul (Reece Dinsdale), who arrived in the village several months back in an effort to track down his son.

He masqueraded as a man named Alex, and subsequently befriended Vinny, but the truth came to light a couple of weeks ago, when Mandy discovered her ex’s presence in the village.
Amid the lockdown episode, both Mandy and Vinny navigate through their past, and as a they do so, Mandy ends up disclosing a long-held secret that has affected her whole life.
But just what is this secret?
