Former EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney reportedly got into a spot of bother with the husband of Janice Dickinson at an I’m A Celebrity post-show meal this weekend.
The South Africa incident occurred – according to newly-evicted contestant Gillian McKeith – after the 45-year old tried to kiss American model Janice, 68.
Dean, who starred as the hapless Robbie Jackson in the Albert Square soap, was reportedly separated from Janice’s psychiatrist spouse Robert “Rocky” Gerner, by another ‘Enders’ alum in the form of Joe Swash.

Gilian explained: “I was sitting there with my daughter Skylar and two-year-old grandson Landon and I became aware of a bit of a kerfuffle. I looked up and Dean and Robert were right there.

“I saw Janice’s husband Robert hold Dean’s arms – he held his forearms tight, pushed him back and there was a push and pull going on.”
She continued: “Then Dean released his arms and said, ‘Get off me’, and tried to free his arms from his grip before he swore and shouted to get away from him.”
TV nutritionist Gill, 63, added that Dean, who will be entering camp in the coming days was left “very upset” by the episode, which caused tension in the room once people had realised what all the commotion was about.

The You Are What You Eat star continued, adding that Robert later told her during the meal that the situation had simply been a “misunderstanding”.
She said he explained to her that he was worried a kiss could “contaminate” the open wound on Janice’s face – the result of a fall during filming of the pre-recorded show.
The incident occurred at four-star Phelwana Game Lodge, a restaurant which had been strictly reserved for celebrities and members of the ITV crew.
The drama from camp will be back on screens on Monday (May 1), meanwhile, with a teaser clip revealing a third celeb will be eliminated in the instalment.
