EastEnders viewers haven’t seen Ricky Butcher since he left in 2012 after Bianca Jackson couldn’t forgive him for cheating with Mandy Salter.
Actor Sid Owen’s character is well known for eloping with Sam Mitchell, marrying Bianca, and getting deported from Dubai for swimming naked.
However in his latest interview with The Sun, the 44-year-old actor has confessed that he has a contract with the BBC: “I can’t really say too much about what I’ve got on but I’d 100% go back to EastEnders – it’s part of my life.”
Sid first joined EastEnders back in 1988 and has been on and off ever since and this isn’t the first time he has hinted that he would go back to EastEnders. In the past he said: “If they asked me, I’d go back in a heartbeat.”
Sid who has remained in contact with people from the BBC soap has confessed: “Ricky is not dead yet – I should go back one day and finish the storyline or go back for a length on time.”
Even though Bianca left in 2014 we would love to see the pair back on screen together.
Sid who is currently a contestant on BBC’s Celebrity Masterchef also added that he doesn’t think his celebrity pal Adele needs any help in the kitchen because she’s a good cook.
Well if she’s as good of a cook as she is at singing, we think you should ask her for a few tips.
Would you like Ricky to return?
