Ricky Champ and his wife Sammy have announced the arrival of their second child, a baby boy, along with his adorable name. The EastEnders star, 42, who portrays Stuart Highway in the hit BBC One soap, and Sammy, 34, welcomed their first son at 4.50pm on 23 June - two weeks earlier than planned.
Sammy and Ricky, who are also parents to four year old daughter Beatrix, exclusively told OK! about their son's early arrival via C-section and then revealed that they have decided to name him River, with the actor describing the moniker as "cool" and "a bit hippie".
