BBC EastEnders' fans can't believe how good Dean Gaffney looks for his age

Soap fans can't believe how good EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney looks for his age.

Dean, who played Robbie Jackson in the BBC show, is 41-year-old, but many of his followers on social media think he looks far younger.

There are comments all over his Instagram posts telling the dad-of-two how well he has aged.

The former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant loves a picture with fellow actors on his social media. From Phil Mitchell, played by Steve McFadden, to Mick Carter, played by Danny Dyer, Dean's Instagram is filled with soap royalty.

Dean was born in London in 1978 and first appeared in EastEnders in 1993, playing the role for 11 years before his character was axed by producers.

Following his departure he headed in to the jungle for season six of I'm A Celeb, entering on day five and coming in fifth place.

On the reality show he opened up about his relationship with ex-wife Sarah, admitting he had had an affair.

He has two grown up twin daughters with Sarah, Charlotte and Chloe. Dean is incredibly proud of his children, sharing posts of them, unable to believe how quickly time has gone now that they are 22-years-old.

Dean returned to the BBC soap in 2017, taking a short break in December 2018, he has just come back on screen this month.
