In the past, Bradley opened up about his marriage to Donna saying he “wouldn’t swap her for the world.”
In an interview with the Mirror in 2006 Bradley revealed the couple had been together since 1992.
At the time, he said: “We’ve been married nine years but been together since 1992.”
Bradley went on to gush about how grateful he is for Donna: “Donna isn’t just beautiful, she’s the most fantastic wife and mother.
He added that Donna was the reason he played Danny Baldwin on the streets of Weatherfield.
The actor said: “It’s because of her I signed with Coronation Street, she’s the one who recognised what it could do for me even though it would mean being apart.”
In an interview with the HuffPost Bradley revealed how Donna had helped ground him over the years.
Bradley said: “Definitely my family, my wife especially, Without a doubt.”

He went on to say what he tries to bring to their marriage: “I try to bring love, stability and reliability. And a shoulder to cry on, or a shoulder to lean on.”
Before marrying Donna, the only time he has been married, the star dated Bernie Nolan after meeting in 1989.
The pair were introduced by Bernie’s sister Coleen Nolan and her then-husband Shane Richie.
Before her death in 2013 from breast cancer, Bernie spoke out about her relationship ahead of the launch of her autobiography Survivors: Our Story.
Bernie told the Mirror she had a “lucky escape” from the chase star as she claimed she caught him with other women while they were together.
Bernie admitted she thought she would marry Bradley, saying: “I really thought Brad and I would marry and it’d be for keeps. Mum even took me out shopping to look at wedding dresses.”
Although looking back on the relationship, Bernie said: “When I think about it now, I feel I had a lucky escape. A while later he wrote me a letter saying he hoped we could still be mates.
“I wrote him one back saying: ‘I didn’t want to be your mate. I wanted to be your wife’.”
Beat the Chasers will conclude tonight on ITV at 9pm.
