EASTENDERS stars Cliff Parisi and Ricky Groves have gone into business
together — driving brides to their weddings.
Cliff, 51, the soap’s Minty Peterson until 2010, is using his £35,000 blue
Bentley for the venture which launches this week.
He said: “It’s the best job in the world.
“What could be nicer than driving a bride?”
Cliff, most recently seen as maintenance man Fred in BBC1
drama Call The Midwife, formed a strong Albert Square
friendship with Ricky, 43, who played mechanic Garry Hobbs until 2009.
He said: “I’ll be a chauffeur at weekends and when I’m not busy doing TV and
stage work.
“I’ll do weddings in North London and Ricky will do them in Peterborough where
he lives.”
The pair will be happy to act in their EastEnders’ roles when they drive
brides on their big day.
Cliff said: “I did a bit of chauffeur work before. I love getting suited and
booted for a big day out.”
