Nineties icon Adam Rickitt is compared to Jean-Claude Van Damme and Bonnie Tyler by fans as he unveils shock new look
Reflecting on Adam Rickitt’s captivating journey, I am truly astonished by the versatility and resilience this man has shown throughout his life. From gracing our television screens as a young Nick Tilsley on Coronation Street to belting out hits with 5th Story, Adam has consistently reinvented himself, never shying away from new challenges.
1. His youthful charm catapulted him into prominence as he took on the character of Nick Tilsley on Coronation Street in 1997.
Even after almost three decades, Adam Rickitt has undergone a striking transformation, which has caused a split among his faithful followers.
On Sunday, the 46-year-old actor shared on Instagram that he had replaced his famous curtains with long, bleached blonde hair. He mentioned that his wife was behind this transformation, encouraging him to go for it.
Accompanying a picture of himself enjoying a vacation in Sicily, he posted: Day 1… 90% wine or mojito… (apologies for the unkempt hair) but @katyrickitt insists she finds it charming!
However, not every follower was swayed by this, as some admired the appearance while others drew comparisons between him and actor Jean-Claude Van Damme and singer Bonnie Tyler.
1. “Fans exclaimed: ‘Adoring your hairstyle friend!’; ‘It seems you’ve embraced the shorter style perfectly’; ‘Nickname for Jean-Claude Van Rickitt’; ‘Your current hairdo reminds me of Bonnie Tyler and I wholeheartedly approve’; ‘Your long hair looks fantastic.’ “
1. ‘Adam, you look fantastic!’ (First sentence)
Adam gained recognition when he joined the cast of Coronation Street in 1997, portraying Gail Platt’s (played by Helen Worth) son for a period of two years.
He returned briefly in 2002 and for a longer spell from 2003 to 2004 when his character was involved in the series’ first gay kiss with Todd Grimshaw (Bruno Langley).
During his soap break, he decided to launch a music career, releasing album – Good Times.
In the United Kingdom, his debut single, titled “I Breathe Again,” peaked at the fifth position, and it was this song that birthed the famous 1999 music video featuring him exposed in a transparent container, under observation by medical professionals.
However, the album only managed to peak at number 41, with Adam promptly dropped from his label.
Afterward, there was a short exploration into politics, where the celebrity was endorsed as a potential parliamentary nominee for the Conservative Party in 2005.
Despite not compiling a list of twenty potential candidates for the Folkestone and Hythe constituency, which was vacated by Michael Howard, he ultimately opted to conclude his political journey.
After a three-year break, he resumed his acting career by appearing on the New Zealand soap opera “Shortland Street” until 2010.
2014 saw his return to the music scene when he became a member of the supergroup known as 5th Story. This group participated in the second season of The Big Reunion, where they shared the stage with Kenzie from Blazin’ Squad, Dane Bowers from Another Level, Kavana and Gareth Gates.
Two years later, his return to acting occurred through a guest role in an episode titled “Doctors.”
He joined the cast of Hollyoaks in 2017 but left the soap three years later in an emotional male suicide plot.
His last acting stint came last year when he played Michael Harvey in an episode of Doctors.
A confidant shared with The Sun that Adam, being one of the top soap actors in the nation, was bound to secure a fresh opportunity eventually.
He’s extremely eager to dive into his role as a doctor, and both his superiors and the audience are eagerly anticipating his debut.
‘Adam has spent a lot of time working on his bar but is in a position to get back to acting now.’
During breaks from his acting career, Adam, along with his GMB presenter wife Katy, established a craft beer store, a gin specialty shop, and a ‘micro bar’ known as Dexter and Jones in Knutsford between the two of them.
