EastEnders legend in court in two weeks after arrest
Actor Shane Richie, known for playing Alfie Moon in EastEnders, is scheduled to appear at Colchester Magistrates’ Court on September 9 after being arrested in Harlow following reports of a suspected drink-driver. Police later authorised a drink-driving charge against a 62-year-old man identified in the report as Shane Roche, apparently referring to Richie. The article also outlines Richie’s television, stage and music career, including his appearances with Bradley Walsh, Brian Conley and Joe Pasquale in the Prat Pack touring show.
