Ricky Norwood puts his National Television Award win down to wearing his "lucky cufflinks".
The 'EastEnders' actor - who won Most Popular Newcomer for his role as Fatboy in the BBC One soap - believes carrying the lucky charms around with him during last night's (26.01.11) ceremony at London's O2 Arena ensured his success in the category.
He told BANG Showbiz: "I've got some lucky cufflinks I always wear but tonight my shirt has got buttons on it so I couldn't wear them. I can't be without them though so I made sure I put one in each pocket!"

Meanwhile, Ricky's girlfriend, Sugababes singer Jade Ewen, admitted seeing the actor pick up the award had made her long for a role in 'EastEnders' herself.

She explained: "I used to do a lot of acting so it's definitely something I'd like to go back to. If I were to be on a soap it would have to be 'EastEnders' because I'm an east Londoner.
"To play a mean girl would be fun. It's always fun to be a bit b****y I think, more interesting."
