Who was Fatboy in EastEnders? <\/h2>\n

40-year-old Ricky Norwood will be taking to the ice as he was reported to be the ninth contestant to join the ITV show on Wednesday, October 4, 2023. <\/p>\n

The actor recently reappeared in the long-running show that catapulted him into the spotlight as BBC One viewers discovered the fallout from Cindy Beale's explosive return to Walford. <\/p>\n

The former villainess portrayed by Michelle Collins rocked up Albert Square and confronted her mother-in-law Kathy Beale. <\/p>\n

But the discussion quickly turned into a slapping match as old unresolved tensions rose again. <\/p>\n

A recent instalment of the London-based program featured flashback scenes of Cindy's life in Marbella with George and their two daughters, Gina and Anna. <\/p>\n

But in a surprising twist, Cindy wasn't the only character to return from the dead as she was seen alongside Arthur, more commonly known in Albert Square as Fatboy. <\/p>\n

Portrayed by Ricky Norwood, Fatboy was the ex-husband of Mercy Chubb and the son of Ashley Chubb. <\/p>\n

He made his EastEnders debut in January, 2010, when he was invited to a party hosted by Cindy's late daughter Lucy Beale. <\/p>\n

In the flashback scene, dating from April, 2014, Cindy secretly returned to Walford after finding out about Lucy's untimely death while in Spain. <\/p>\n

As diehard fans will remember, Lucy Beale was murdered by her younger brother Bobby. <\/p>\n

The child bashed Lucy's head in with a music box she had been keeping drugs in and Jane Beale ultimately helped him cover up the crime. <\/p>\n

At the time of Cindy's secret return, Lucy's death remained a mystery and Bobby hadn't been suspected of any foul play. <\/p>\n

Cindy was unable to reveal she was back in the Square due to being embroiled in the witness protection scheme in an attempt to avoid her former cellmate Jackie Ford. <\/p>\n

She was caught up before she could be found out by anybody she once knew… and thought she had died behind bars decades ago.<\/p>\n

Locked in a car with the agent in charge of her case, the pair of women were interrupted by Fatboy who asked them for the time before heading off to a pool competition in The Vic. <\/p>\n

But while Cindy played dead for 25 years, Fatboy isn't as lucky as he met a tragic fate a year after his encounter with the blonde bombshell. <\/p>\n
