EASTENDERS' legend Sid Owen has shocked fans with a picture of his girlfriend Victoria peeing in a forest.
The star, 49, who played dopey mechanic Ricky Butcher, uploaded the shot on Instagram yesterday.
Sid and Victoria were out for a stroll in a leafy area when she answered to the call of nature.
The actor, who wore sunnies and a backpack, posted a shot to Instagram with the cheeky caption: "I didn't take a picture."
He then joked: "Ssshhh. Don’t tell the misses."
Fans were in hysterics, and his former EastEnders co-star Dean Gaffney commented: "She knew it was being taken! Lol."
Another said: "When you got to go you gotta go."
A third chimed in: "Rickyyyyyy."
