The son of a dustman, Shane Richie has come a long way from the rough streets of London's Harlesden.
As 'Eastenders' loveable rogue Alfie Moon, he is the 'darling' of every soap fan in Britain. But it has been an incredible roller-coaster ride to the top. Shane grabbed the trappings of fame with both hands, sleeping with a string of women and indulging in the champagne lifestyle . . . to excess.
In 'Rags To Riches', Shane writes candidly about his years of womanising, the agonising break-up of his marriage to singer Colleen Nolan and the days of heavy drinking. He also reveals how he coped through his career nose-dive, his money troubles and the loss of almost everything important to him.
In this fascinating read, Shane lifts the lid on his amazing twenty-five years in showbusiness, emerging as a gifted actor, generously spirited man and a unique star.
