'Enders' Ricky loves being a toyboy

EastEnders star Ricky Norwood is hoping his character Fatboy Chubb could become Denise Fox's new toyboy.

The pair are set to have a fling following a passionate one night stand, but Ricky thinks Fatboy and shopkeeper Denise, played by Diane Parish, will make a good couple.

He told Inside Soap magazine: "Right now, I don't think Fatboy is looking for love - but he's happy to be swept off his feet by Denise, who's this hot older woman he never imagined he could be with.

"Denise is a scorching woman - she's got a dynamite body and a beautiful smile. She's way out of his league, but there is a lot of chemistry between them. I think they'd make a really good couple."

Ricky added: "That would be cool. Fatboy may be young, but he's got an old soul and he's not just some young boy messing about.

"There is potential there if Denise could see it, but because of the age thing, I think she might worry that people were saying things about her. Right now, she's just enjoying herself."

But he admits that after Denise seduces him, Fatboy is completely under her spell.

He said: "He's in a world of 'I can't believe pigs are flying!' right now.

"There he is, enjoying a sexy fling with an older, hot lady and it's blowing his mind.

"Fatboy is happy to go along for the ride!"
