RICCCKKKKKKKKKYYYYYYYYYYYY!

It's a name we fell in love with when SID OWEN played infamous Ricky Butcher in Eastenders for many years, on and off since 1988.

He is returning to Albert Square very soon, but Lee caught up with him to talk life on London's most famous street so far and the release of his book which is out now to fill Santa's stocking with.

Hear all about how Sid was catapulted to fame with the highs and lows along the way.

There are over 60 more episodes of Soap From The Box to listen to right now, with many more on their way. You favourite stars from Eastenders, Coronation Street, Hollyoaks, Neighbours, Home And Away and Emmerdale chat to Lee about the shows they were in and life outside them.

Lee Salisbury directed soap for over 10 years and opens his black book to let you in on the stories no one else knows.
