EastEnders actor to star in new movie, first role in 8 years
Sid Owen, best known for his role as Ricky Butcher in EastEnders, is set to make his long-awaited return to the big screen in an emotive new film. It has been eight years since the actor appeared in a new project, with his last credit being in 2016 for the short film Angels and Cowboys. While he has made appearances on reality shows like Banged Up, Sid's return to acting marks an exciting new chapter in his career.

In his upcoming film, A Day With An Eating Disorder, Sid will star alongside Jess Impiazzi and Daisy May Cooper's real-life father. The movie, written by Lynn Crilly, aims to shed light on the struggles of those living with an eating disorder and give them a voice. As someone who knows firsthand the impact of mental health and eating disorders, Sid is thrilled to be a part of this important project.

In a recent interview, Sid shared his personal connection to the film, saying, "Mental health and eating disorders affect lots of people, and I know someone who has gone through it. It's a tough journey, so being a part of a project that aims to break down stigma and help others is truly meaningful to me." It's clear that the actor is dedicated to using his platform to raise awareness and support for important issues.

While Sid's character Ricky has been mentioned in the show since his departure in 2022, fans will be delighted to know that he will be returning to Albert Square in the near future. His niece, Scarlett, will also be making a comeback, adding to the excitement of his return. This will be the first time we see Ricky since his dramatic exit during Janine's storyline in 2022.

As we eagerly await Sid's return to EastEnders, he is keeping busy with his appearance on a reality show called Banged Up. But that's not all - fans can also join a special Soaps community on Metro's WhatsApp to get exclusive access to spoilers, videos, and interviews. With so much going on, it's clear that Sid Owen continues to be a beloved figure in the world of television and entertainment.
