But Fatboy finally found the girl of his dreams in Poppy, and saved up to move in together... As The Square’s ϋber cute couple continued to save, Poppy found a seemingly perfect new build near her parents, outside of London. Fatboy had reservations about her idealistic views for their future in the suburbs and he eventually exploded. He told Poppy that he didn’t want any of that and, shocked, Poppy ran off in tears.

But Fatboy managed to woo his precious flower back in The Vic after staging a Miss Teen Vic competition. With his love life back on track, Fatboy was faced with getting his working life in order. After being left in charge of The Vic whilst Alfie and Roxy were away, Fatboy managed to lose money, mess up stock orders and make a hash of the rota.

Seeking to distract himself from his recent relationship disaster, Fatboy focused heavily on helping Masood get himself back together... by calling Shabnam.
Fatboy met his untimetly demise at the hands of Ronnie Mitchell's henchmen, whom were originally intended to kidnap Vincent and put him in a car boot, which would later be crushed. However, Fatboy was at the wrong place at the wrong time, and was confused for Vincent.
