He was guest of honour today as he met the rescued animals, fed the meerkats, got up close with the lemurs and served lunch to the lions.
Ricky is staying in Ventnor this week, and heading to a wedding before headlining the Big Top on Saturday night at 11.45pm.
He said: "It's a great slot to play, everything else will have finished for the night so we're the only thing to see, everyone will pile down to the tent to see us, it will be mayhem."
Ricky has presented the Sky's festival coverage twice before.
