Sid, who is best known for playing the iconic character of Ricky Butcher on the BBC show from 1988 until 2012, praised Victoria as he shared the happy news online.

Thank you for our baby.”Sid never expected to start a family in his late 40's and he said that pregnancy was a miracle for them.He told The Sunday Mirror: “I never ever dreamt I would have kids. The older you get the more distant that idea seems. You give up hope sometimes, so it is a miracle it has happened.

“We’d spoken about it when we talked about marriage but I just didn’t think it was going to happen. I was completely shocked and over the moon.”Patsy Palmer, who played Ricky's long time on-screen love interest Bianca Jackson, wrote: “Congratulations to you all.” While Danniella Westbrook, who played his childhood sweetheart Sam Mitchell continued: “Congratulations daddy and well done Victoria .”He then went on to date Polly Parsons between 2006 and 2012.
