Shane Richie's pride shines through for his daughter's birthday as fans say she's 'growing up fast'
Shane Richie might be better known to many as the dad of Bert and Ernie in EastEnders. But away from his life as Alfie Moon, the 59-year-old actor and comic is also a real-life dad of five.
And he's paid a proud and engaging tribute to one of his kids as she marks a milestone birthday today (July 28). Daughter Lolita has been featured on an effusive Instagram post by her father, with him picking out his favourite pictures and posting a collage of her.
The blonde and blue-eyed teen isn't too much like her dad physically, it has to be said - unlike son Jake Roche, who is the spit of Shane - but she's definitely got a future in showbiz if she takes after her mum's - actor Christie Goddard - skills as much as she does her looks.

Lolita, you’re our princess! Occasionally funnier than me but only occasionally, smart, at times theatrical, beautifully dramatic with the best side eye (dads know what I mean) the biggest heartiest smile and even more beautiful heart …we love you kid." The seven shots on the collage show Lolita's stunning hair in enviable waves, as well as a varied wardrobe that would thrill any teenager.
