Former EastEnders star Ricky Noorwood has shared a “never-seen-before” throwback picture with soap legends June Brown and Adam Woodyatt.

Ricky, who played fan favourite Arthur Chubb, aka Fatboy, in the BBC soap posted the picture to his Instagram account.

Ricky captioned the post: “Wow hit 10k!! now 10.3k.

“Thank you guys so much for the love and support! Every single one of you I appreciate.

“To celebrate I decided to post this never-seen-before personal pic of my last scene shot in The Vic with the legendary Dame June Brown and the #masterchef @adamwoodyatt!

“This was a special moment for me so who better to share it with than you special people. Sending [yellow heart emoji]”.

Fans rushed to comment on the picture. One wrote: “Love this.”

A second commented: “Thank you for sharing.”

A third added: “Please come back.”

EastEnders fans recently started a new campaign to bring Fatboy back to the soap after Maisie Smith’s mum, Julia, posted a picture of Maisie and Ricky reuniting.

Maisie, who plays Tiffany Butcher in the BBC soap, posted the same picture, and a throwback picture of her and Ricky from his days in EastEnders.

Fatboy appeared in EastEnders from 2010 till 2015.

Poor Fatboy was caught in a war between Vincent Hubbard and Ronnie Mitchell.

In a tragic case of mistaken identity Fatboy was kidnapped by some of Ronnie’s heavies and locked in the boot of a car at the Arches.

Unfortunately the car then got taken off to be crushed and the last we saw of Ricky Norwood’s character was Vincent pulling Fatboy’s trademark ‘F’ medallion out of the car’s wreckage.

However, viewers never saw Fatboy’s body and despite Vincent appearing shocked when he opened the boot of the car, he told Ronnie that she had been scammed and the crushed car boot was empty.

Later Vincent called in at Dot Branning’s, who Fatboy lived with, and told her Fatboy went to a gig in Austria and may not be returning.

Last month, Ricky reunited with former EastEnders co-star Rudolph Walker for a new project.
