However, as she details the incident on the comedy_arcade podcast, it appears it wasn’t all cupcakes and hearts for the pair after she publicly bashed him and was left “fuming” when she found herself interrupting his filming schedule.
She explained: “I was travelling first class on a train and someone came in and said I had to move to a different carriage because some producers were using this carriage to film an advert.
“And I was all settled in I had got on the train early, I got my coffee, I was a bit fuming. I was in a bad mood – so I tweeted coz I looked out the window and realized the person that was filming was dean Gaffney.”
She went to explain that she took to Twitter to call out the actor but he was quick to win over her affections after sending her a cupcake.
Jenny added: “So I tweeted that I have just been moved out of my seat on the train because of Dean Gaffney, it got picked up, and after about an hour someone shuffled down the train and said ‘Dean’s really sorry that you had to move from your seat and he wants to give you this and it was a cupcake.’ Coz he had a tray of cupcakes coz it was his birthday and I had been mean to him.”
Tweeting at the time of incident, She wrote: “I have just been evicted from my booked train seat in favour of Dean Gaffney. Oh, the indignity.”
As her followers responded with rage, Jenny revealed that Dean – who was celebrating his 41st birthday at the time – had deescalated the spat and apologised as she reassured fans she was now “in a nice comfy seat just two carriages down.”
