Matt Di Angelo, 27, who plays Dean, has revealed that his character is set to star an affair with none other than Lauren Branning.

Matt told Inside Soap magazine: "It's true, Dean and Lauren are going to get together – but it's nothing serious.

"It was fun for me, being in bed with Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren." We wonder what Dan Osborne will make of that cheeky comment.

But Matt did admit that Dean's feelings for Linda will not go away, and that he is just using Lauren.
