Eastenders Shane Richie Blasts Ex Wifes Prostitute Promise

01-06-2005 23:00

'Eastenders' star Shane Richie blasted ex-wife Colleen Nolan's plans to pay for their son to visit a prostitute if he passes his exams.

Former singer Colleen said she planned to reward 16-year-old Shane Jr's GCSE results with a trip to Amsterdam's seedy red-light district, and pay for him to visit a working girl, accompanied by her fiance Ray Fensome.

She said: "If he gets his exams, I have told him he can have a long weekend anywhere he wants, and he wants to go to Amsterdam because he wants to go with a prostitute.

"So I said 'Ray will have to go with you because you can't go on your own', and he said 'Well Ray might sleep with a prostitute too'. "I said 'That's all right it's only a prostitute'."

But the revelation, made on ITV's 'Loose Women' talk show, has left Richie furious with his ex.

He said: "I am absolutely disgusted and appalled by Colleen. I can only think she said this for shock value and I hope and assume it was said in total jest. "No responsible parent would even think of such a thing - let alone state it."

The handsome actor, who plays Alfie Moon in the BBC soap, has vowed not to let the trip happen.

He pledged: "Shane Jr will not be going to Amsterdam. I have bigger things planned."
