 In October 2012 , it was confirmed by Daniel Kilkelly that a new storyline would see Denise Fox ( Diane Parish ) and Fatboy spend the night together after he rescues her when she gets unwanted attention from a man . Norwood , who plays Fatboy , told Inside Soap , " 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 . 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 . " Norwood added that while the pair 's relationship was sexual , a serious future for them could be possible . They met for an afternoon of passion on 16 October 2012 but ended the affair a few days later when Denise told him that she will think of it as a ' great memory ' . In January 2014 , Denise and Fatboy kiss passionately during her engagement party to Ian Beale in The Queen Victoria .
