'EastEnders' star announces fifth child

Shane Richie is to be a father for the fifth time.

The ‘EastEnders’ star’s wife Christie – with who he already has two children, Mackenzie Blue, four, and two-year-old Lolita-Belle – is eight months pregnant and the actor admits they kept their happy news under wraps because it didn’t seem appropriate to reveal it while discussing his soap character Alfie Moon’s current plot.
