The star, a soap regular from the age of 16, once admitted snorting up to 20 lines of cocaine a day as his fame soared. Asked if he still drinks alcohol, Sid, who swims and runs up to six days a week, said: “Not really. Not so much now. I’m into my fitness.”Sid had groupies at his beck and call in his 20s. He dated ex-EastEnders’ pal Nick Berry’s sister Amanda, and later found himself single and playing the field.He admits: “There were . Amanda kept me on the straight and narrow. But the times I was single, I lapped it up. Every bloke that’s single would do it.

It was a firm “No”.Mum Joan, 35, died from cervical cancer in November 1979 when Sid was just seven.

Dopey mechanic Ricky wed fiery Bianca Jackson who famously screamed “Rickaay!” on a regular basis. Ricky had three stints in the soap and was last seen in 2012.

Well one things for sure. It’s a bit if a dilemma! If you Buy the book by SidOwen. Will you be helping him get back on the Drugs again!

I actually think he is trying to boast about himself.

Poor choice of picture to use, doesn’t even look like him as we remember. Better one here
