BBC to meet Norwood over claims of smoking cannabis

EastEnders star Ricky Norwood will meet with BBC bosses this week to discuss his future on the show.

It's after a video emerged online which appears to show the actor smoking what's reported to have been cannabis.

An EastEnders spokesperson said: "We will be meeting with Ricky early next week to discuss this matter. We are unable to comment any further at this stage."

Norwood, 28, has played Arthur "Fatboy" Chubb in the soap for four years.

Ricky Norwood appeared on a Christmas special of Strictly Come Dancing in 2013

The video, which is reported to be over eight minutes long, is thought to have been filmed recently and captured on Skype.

It shows Norwood smoking throughout and has been claimed by The Sun that it also shows him fully naked performing a sex act.

The actor studied dance at performance arts school before he decided to take up acting.

Now a full time cast member in EastEnders, Norwood first appeared in the soap's online spin-off E20.

In 2010, he won a National Television Award for best newcomer after joining EastEnders in the same year.

His latest storyline has seen him comforting Dot Cotton, who is played by June Brown, following the death of her son Nick Cotton.
