It appears that Ricky Whittle, known for his roles in various TV shows, has made a comeback to London and is believed to be seeking romance after joining the exclusive dating platform, Raya.
In 2011, the former Hollyoaks actor, who placed second on Strictly Come Dancing back in 2009, decided to relocate to Hollywood to pursue his acting career in Los Angeles.
As reported by The Sun, one image depicted the actor affectionately holding a quokka, while another snapshot showcased him sprinting bare-chested down a street.
A source said: ‘It’s like he’s saying I’m cuddly, hot and very available.
About two weeks back, I came across his online profile. It mentions that he is an actor residing in Los Angeles, yet at the time, he was temporarily in London.
‘Given how good he looks, I bet he had loads of people swiping on his profile.’
Ricky is best known over here for playing Calvin Valentine on Hollyoaks.
Following the demise of his character in 2010, Ricky decided to change locations and has since appeared in television series such as The 100 and American Gods.
Regardless of his significant achievements overseas, Ricky, during his 2023 interview with TopMob, didn’t definitively reject the idea of possibly revisiting the British soap opera scene someday.
As a lifestyle expert, I might say: “To be honest, the idea of returning to soap acting isn’t something that immediately sparks my interest. However, if it presents an entertaining opportunity for me – someone who doesn’t require employment due to my fortunate circumstances – I wouldn’t rule it out completely.
Although it’s been 20 years since I was last in Hollyoaks, I can’t ignore my roots; they’re an integral part of who I am.
Additionally, he shared insights into how his experience on Hollyoaks impacted his acting abilities, stating: “Without Hollyoaks, I wouldn’t be at the level I am today.
Working on ‘Hollyoaks’ is essentially a daily educational experience. You’re tasked with learning 12 to 15 scripts each day, and midway through, new pages keep coming down, almost like an urgent assignment that needs immediate attention. Yet, you manage to absorb the information quickly without much contemplation.
Your character underwent a dramatic transformation, moving from the role of the noble hero, to the villain, to the club proprietor, to a troubled sibling battling addiction, to someone who appeared to have taken a life, only to be resurrected – it’s as if you experience a full spectrum of feelings.
‘If that’s not great education for an actor- I don’t know what is.’
In his own words, he expressed: “I have immense respect for soap opera actors. They work tirelessly for five days every week, and I hold them in high regard. Their performances significantly impacted my life.
In 2023, he decided to leave behind the glitz of Hollywood, informing TopMob that he had grown weary of American politics and its chaos, and was preparing to depart from Los Angeles.
However, only a few years have passed since then, Ricky might be contemplating a comeback to the limelight. The dashing actor added an unexpected touch to this year’s Monte-Carlo Television Festival by making a surprise appearance.
Arriving at an event in southern France, he stepped out on the red carpet with his usual elegance in a black tuxedo. The occasion was the upcoming Golden Nymph Awards Ceremony, where he would be presenting alongside Shy’m, who is 39 years old.
The pair struck a pose together, with Ricky cleverly directing attention towards the charming French actress who showcased her long legs in a striking black and white gown that drew immediate notice.
In the course of their dance performance later that night, duo Shy’m experienced an unlucky clothing mishap, causing a brief exposure of her attire.
In the last sighting, Whittle appeared on TV as Mickey Barnes in an episode from The Rookie series, which focuses on a cop in LA.
Previously, the individual, aged 45, had spent a peaceful work period following the conclusion of American Gods in 2021.
