His surname is frequently mis-spelled as 'Rickett',
including once on the credits of Coronation Street when he

three older brothers: Tim (Timothy Grant), Mark (Mark

stated: "I didn't know what to do with them all. The house
was full to bursting. It was amazing." He handed the gift
bonanza over to local hospitals and other charities.
