Now we have fake Fatboy. #EastEnders — Mark Binmore (@MarkBinmore) October 29, 2019 Jags is like a mix of Minty, Gary and Fatboy.

The popular character appeared to be killed off in 2015 when he got caught up in a war between Ronnie Mitchell and Vincent Hubbard.

Unfortunately the car was taken to be crushed and the last we saw of the lovable character was Vincent pulling Fatboy’s trademark ‘F’ medallion out of the car wreckage. No one knows if Fatboy died or not (Credit: BBC) We’ve had fake Michelle. Now we have fake Fatboy. 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. Vincent later told Dot Branning, who Fatboy was living with, that her lodger and friend went to a gig in Austria and may not return. EastEnders is on Mondays and Fridays at 8pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm. Leave us a comment on our Facebook page @EntertainmentDailyFix and let us know what you think!
