The 'EastEnders' actor's significant other Samantha Champ - who he shares four-year-old daughter Beatrix with - took to Instagram to reveal the couple have baby number two on the way.
She wrote: "Hey Baby the reason I’ve felt so terrible the last few months but for the best reason. 2022 you’re going to be the best one yet
(I also know how hard other people’s baby announcements can feel so if you need to mute/unfollow I completely understand) (sic)"
Several of Ricky's 'EastEnders' co-stars past and present congratulated the couple on the happy news, including Natalie Cassidy (Sonia Fowler).
She commented: "Congratulations guys. Such great news."
Jessica Plummer - who played Chantelle Atkins in the BBC One soap - wrote: "Congratulations"
Luisa Bradshaw-White (Tina Carter) posted: "Yaaaay! Congratulations so excited for you all!!! (sic)"

The Stacey Slater star posted: "Congratulations!!! So lovely (sic)"
In January 2020, Ricky - who plays Stuart Highway in the soap - revealed his daughter's favourite 'EastEnders' character was Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).
In an adorable video posted on Twitter, Ricky asked his daughter who her favourite on the soap was, and without hesitation she replied: "Phil Mitchell."
Samantha could be heard laughing in the background as Ricky looked less than impressed, questioning the answer before it gets reiterated.
He grimaced: "Phil Mitchell."
