EastEnders star Matt Di Angelo has confirmed that his character Dean Wicks will have a fling with Lauren Branning, played by Jacqueline Jossa.
The actor revealed that their relationship isn’t anything serious but is more of a distraction from his feelings for married Linda Carter (Kellie Bright).
“It’s true, Dean and Lauren are going to get together – but it’s nothing serious,” he told
Inside Soap. “It was fun for me, being in bed with Jacqueline Jossa, who plays Lauren.
“But I don’t think Dean cares too much for Lauren. She’s just a distraction and I can imagine he’s thinking about Linda the whole time”.
Like Dean, Lauren hasn’t been having much luck when it comes to love either. She has feelings for Peter Beale (Ben Hardy) but he is in a relationship with Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold).
Lauren has grown close to Peter in recent months but he has a girlfriend.
