Ricky was born in Oldham, Lancashire. His father was in the Royal Air Force which meant travelling the world to different bases. Ricky was scouted to play as a professional footballer for Arsenal and Celtic football clubs but this was thwarted by injury and instead he went to Southampton University to read Law. Whilst there he began modelling and became the Face of Reebok for 2000. He then moved into acting, with a role in the football soap 'Dream Team', during which he broke a leg, the injury being written into the show as befalling his character. In 2007 he left to play in another British soap, as P.C. Calvin Valentine in 'Hollyoaks'. Show less «

The best food I've had was actually in catering at 'Single Ladies.' It's insane. I can't live in Atlanta. In fact, even if I'm offered, I'm not sure I could come back for another six months, because I'll just be fat. Show less «

I've never used chat-up lines; I don't have the gift of the gab.

I'm more of a mimic. My accent tends to drift to where ever I am.
