Emmerdale actor Bradley Riches says he previously tried to take his own life, describing a difficult period in his life. He shares the account with fans as part of wider discussion during September’s Suicide Awareness Month.
Both reports state that Riches’ comments are framed as personal disclosure intended to raise awareness and encourage others to seek support. Metro emphasizes that the revelation comes during September’s Suicide Awareness Month, while The Mirror characterizes the confession as “heartbreaking” and focuses on the years before he achieved success. Neither outlet provides additional verified details about timing, circumstances, or location beyond describing it as a dark period.
