Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on January 12, 1972)

Happy Birthday, Sid! From Walford's favourite mechanic Ricky Butcher to your unforgettable catchphrases and dramatic exits, you've kept us entertained for decades. Who else could make car grease look so effortlessly charming? Your 24 years on EastEnders have given us countless laughs, tears, and iconic moments—truly timeless!

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with more joy than a night at The Queen Vic (minus the drama!). May this year bring you as much success off-screen as you've had on it. Keep smiling that cheeky grin—we can't wait to see what adventures await next. Cheers to you!
