EastEnders super-fan Rag N Bone man has bagged himself a role on the show
The producers of the show had always known Rag‘n’Bone man was a huge EastEnders fan, so it was the perfect moment for him to make a cameo
In the episode Rory drops into the Queen Vic pub for a drink and bumps into Rocky, played by Brian Conley.
Rocky then manages to persuade Rory to perform at Walford’s Carol Concert Fundraiser.
A source said: “Rory’s performance on EastEnders will go down in soap history.
“He is a huge fan of the show so he jumped at the chance to take part.
“It is a very fitting song and is perfect for Mick and Janine.”
Speaking about his role, Rory, 37, said: “In the words of Gabrielle, ‘Dreams can come true’.
“Thanks to everyone at EastEnders for one of the best days of my life.”
EastEnders Executive Producer Chris Clenshaw added: “We have always known Rag‘n’Bone man is a huge EastEnders fan, so when an opportunity came up in one of our stories it was the perfect moment for us to ask him to not only appear, but also perform in Albert Square.
“We are all thrilled that he said yes, and we hope the audience enjoy the special Christmas treat, as much as much as everyone at EastEnders enjoyed having Rag‘n’Bone Man in Walford.”
East Sussex born Rory, who has two No1 albums and hit singles including Giant and Anywhere Away From Here, is a lifelong EastEnders fan.
His devotion to the BBC One soap even saw him asking for framed photographs of cast members on his tour riders.
Rory said: “I’m not a diva, I only have one stupid thing on my rider which is a framed picture of an EastEnders cast member.
“I’ve had loads so far, I’ve had Ian Beale, I’ve had Dot, I’ve got Sharon, it always changes.
“I hope someone will go a bit rogue and I’ll get Wellard the dog.
“I’m a big fan, I love EastEnders. The only show I watch religiously is EastEnders. It’s comfort TV, as I’ve watched it since I was a kid.”
