Ricky Norwood, who played Arthur 'Fatboy' Chubb on EastEnders for six years, won over a lot of fans, but in 2015 was axed from the show despite being loved by viewers. Ricky, now 40, was let go from the show after he was caught in a compromising position off-screen and Fatboy was subsequently killed off in a Christmas storyline which left viewers devastated. However, in August 2023, the character surprisingly returned to Albert Square at the same time as Cindy Beale's (played by Michelle Collins) return, reports MyLondon.
Cindy bumped into George Knight (played by Colin Salmon) and she sat down and told him about her past, sharing that she had been living secretly as Rose Knight when they were together. During a scene that showed what happened in the past, Fatboy popped up at Cindy's car window and asked her what the time was. The much-loved character then left, which surprised viewers who were thrilled to see the actor again.
Who was Fatboy in EastEnders? Fatboy first came to Walford in January 2010, when he was invited to a party by Lucy Beale (played by Hetti Bywater). He became the star of the party having made his debut and went on to contribute to lots of exciting storylines during his time in Albert Square. In the EastEnders: E20 spin-off, Fatboy fell for Mercy Olubunmi (Bunmi Mojekwu) and married her to help her stay in the country.
He also developed feelings for his friend Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty), despite her involvement with Tyler Moon (Tony Discipline). What happened to Fatboy? In 2015, Fatboy's life took a turn when he became involved in a deadly feud among Walford's local gangsters. After troubled beginnings, Fatboy bonded with Vincent Hubbard who convinced him to drop his nickname and use his real name
