Black-tricks Ricky Whittle
Thursday, 18 September 2008
Ricky Whittle claims he is known as 'Black-tricks Swayze' because of his dancing abilities.
The 'Hollyoaks' actor - who plays Calvin Valentine in the Channel 4 soap - says he uses his skills on the dance floor to impress his girlfriend and co-star Carley Stenson, who plays Steph Dean.
Referring to Patrick Swayze's character in 'Dirty Dancing', Ricky said: "She loves dancing and I've got all sorts of moves, all sorts of shapes. I'm known as Black-tricks Swayze."
Ricky - whose character Calvin is set to wed Carmel McQueen in the show - also revealed his fears about the stag do for his own wedding.
He added to Britain's OK! magazine: "I would end up in a random outback hut in the middle of the desert. There'd be a phone number or a fiver shoved between my toes, with a note saying, 'Get back now!'
"But I've got five mates who would jump in front of bullets for me, so I'd have to have lots of best men."
