EastEnders star Dean Gaffney, 40, enjoys night out with glamorous 24-year-old girlfriend
The actor proved his relationship with Rebekah Ward is stronger than ever as he stepped out arm in arm with her in London on Thursday night
DEAN Gaffney couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he stepped out for a date night with his young girlfriend Rebekah Ward.
The couple, who got together in 2016, dressed up for their night out in London on Thursday.
Dean, 40, looked smart in a shirt and jumper teamed with a grey coat and brown shoes.
While Rebekah, 24, sported a blue jumpsuit teamed with a YSL handbag and fur wrap to keep her shoulders warm.
The EastEnders star has twin daughters, Chloe and Charlotte, who are only three years younger than his girlfriend at 21.
Opening up about his unfaithfulness to their mum, Sarah Burge, who he met when he was a teenager, Dean said last year, "Women were my drug and now, looking back, I'm ashamed of my past.
"How many times did it happen? I couldn't put a finger on it."
"Whenever Sarah confronted me about my cheating, I'd just deny, deny, deny.
"She loved me so much, she wanted to believe me."
Dean and Sarah split in 2015 after he was spotted holding hands with 24-year-old dancer, Maddie Stephens.

He said at the time, "We are in a place where we don’t know what the future holds.
"No one wants to see pictures of someone that’s been in their life for so long with someone else. No one wants to be humiliated."
But Dean has appears to be a changed man nowadays and has even got Rebekah's dad's seal of approval.
He told the Sunday People, "He seems like he's turned over a new leaf.
"They're having a happy relationship."
