Ritchie was born in Lowestoft, Suffolk. He has described himself as a "mix", as his father is from Durban, South Africa and his mother is English.[1] His paternal grandparents left South Africa for England when his father was only a year old because of apartheid in South Africa.[1] Ritchie is the middle of three children.[1] His younger sister is singer-songwriter Ria Ritchie.[2] He worked with the National Youth Theatre as a teenager,[1] and furthered his acting education at the East 15 Acting School[3] at the University of Essex in Loughton, Essex.
