At the end of his cycling career in 2016, Bradley began a social work degree and also was hopeful for a spot at the Tokyo Olympics as a rower.

He told Big Issue magazine in 2019: ‘I don’t give a s**t about my cycling career now. I’m just detached from it, I don’t want to live off the back of it.

‘I live off of being me, and I’m happy in my own skin.’  

Bradley and Laura had been introduced to one another by a mutual friend, and after hitting it off Bradley has even taken the plunge of moving in with her.

Bradley had initially kept his new relationship under wraps but he has now moved into Laura’s London home.

His ex-wife Cath has stayed in Preston with their two children, Ben, 14, and Isabella, 12.
