Exciting news for fans of former EastEnders star, Ricky Norwood! The talented actor has just landed a role in a brand new Christmas film. Known for his portrayal of Arthur 'Fatboy' Chubb on the popular BBC soap, Ricky is now ready to take on a new challenge in the world of cinema.
After wowing audiences on Dancing on Ice earlier this year, Ricky will now be gracing our screens in the upcoming film, Jingle All the Slay. Written by Charley McDougall, the movie will also feature Nick Sagar and Alexa Adeosun, according to Deadline. From what we know so far, the film follows the story of a hitman named Hank Carter, who is looking forward to a peaceful Christmas with his family at a beautiful lakeside mansion. However, things take a turn when bounty hunters show up, disrupting his plans.
In order to protect his loved ones and maintain his cover, Hank must use his festive decorations to outsmart the intruders. After all, his family has no idea about his dangerous profession. Sounds like a thrilling plot, doesn't it? We can't wait to see Ricky in action!
This won't be the first time Ricky has worked with Nick and Alexa. The trio previously shared the screen in The Princess Switch film series. Ricky played the character of Reggie in the two sequels, The Princess Switch: Switched Again and Romancing the Star, alongside High School Musical star, Vanessa Hudgens. With such a talented cast, we're sure the film will be a hit.
As of now, no release date has been announced for Jingle All the Slay. But we'll definitely be keeping an eye out for any updates. In the meantime, let's take a look at some of Ricky's other projects since his departure from EastEnders.
In 2015, Ricky said goodbye to his beloved character, Fatboy, but he later made a surprise cameo appearance in the show last year. This left fans in shock as they thought Fatboy had died. Although his character was seemingly killed off, there was never any confirmation and fans have been speculating about a possible return ever since.
Apart from his soap career, Ricky also appeared in the 18th series of Celebrity Big Brother, where he finished as the runner-up. But it seems like Ricky hasn't forgotten his roots. In an interview with RadioTimes earlier this year, he expressed his willingness to return to EastEnders if the opportunity presented itself. He even praised the show for its recent storylines, especially the Christmas special.
This latest news just adds to the excitement around Ricky's career. We can't wait to see what else he has in store for us. And as always, we'll keep you updated on all things soaps here on our page. So make sure to leave a comment and join the community!
