By going to clubs, speaking to young peole etc, you become a role model by default, but he is a parent, ads by yanks who have been paid by the likes of nike etc provide no excuses. All those in the public eye have a social responsibilty and it becomes more of a responsibility when a charasmatic young man like Ricky does it.

I am gutted by what Ricky has done, or been caught doing, let down greatly.

Maybe he'll have the balls to come out and a genuine apology
