EastEnders star Ricky on baby number two
Back in January, Ricky revealed to his fans that he and Sammy were expecting another baby.
The couple have one child already, a daughter called Beatrix, who is four years old.
Ricky revealed that Beatrix is going to have a little brother come July!
“He’s a boy! We’re very excited,” Ricky said in an interview with What To Watch.
“Beatrix is four, so we’ve timed it quite nicely. We’ll have a few months at home together, as a family, and then Beatrix starts school,” he said.
“So we’ll have one on the path of education, and then we start again with the other.”
Ricky’s career so far
The 41-year-old will be well known to soap fans for his role as Stuart Highway in the hit BBC soap EastEnders.
He joined the show in 2018 and has been a regular in the show ever since.
Away from Albert Square, Ricky has appeared in some huge British TV shows, including The Bill, Casualty, and Doc Martin.
