The actor had only positive things to say about Scousers
A Netflix actor praised Scousers as he attended the National Diversity Awards in Liverpool this evening. The event was held at the Anglican Cathedral, and is a celebration of the positive role models who have promoted equality in today’s society.
The ceremony has been an incredible success since the first edition as thousands of unsung heroes have been rewarded for their inspiring work. Charities, role models and community heroes were recognised at the glamorous event for their important work in enhancing equality, diversity and inclusion.
There were thousands of nominations for the awards this year with categories including Positive Role Model, Diverse Company and Lifetime Achiever. Jamie Webster, Channique Sterling Brown and Paddy Pimblett were among the list of celebrities that attended the event.

Bradley Riches, best known for starring in Netflix teen series Heartstopper and appearing on the 23rd series of Celebrity Big Brother in March 2024, had only positive things to say about the city and its people. When interviewed by ECHO reporter Ryan Paton on the red carpet, Bradley said: “I’ve actually never been to Liverpool before. This is my first time, so I’m really excited.
“We’ve looked around the shopping centre, had a couple of drinks and some food. I really love it, it’s good energy! Also, I did lose my ring today, and loads of strangers helped me find it – so Liverpool’s got the approval!”
Bradley, who featured in this years’ Celebrity Big Brother, said of being on the show: “My favourite moment would have to be the retreat on day three. It was quite freeing, and I felt seen and understood.” Bradley lived among celebrities such as Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Love Island star Ekinsu Culculoglu. He described Sharon Osbourne as being “like a mum” to him.
