Bradley appeared as Danny Baldwin on the Cobbles from 2004 - 2006. Sir Bradley continued to ask the host if he was killed off in the show before he revealed the reason he left the show.

He said: "I left to go to London. I left the textiles factory. I walked away from Coronation Street." The host went on to aim a jibe at the Olympic cyclist as he referenced the area where he lived in London.
