Former EastEnders star Dean Gaffney has delighted fans with a rare glimpse of his 23 year old twin daughters.
The 42 year old soap star, who played Robbie Jackson on the BBC show, gushed over his family as he posted a snap of him with twins Chloe and Charlotte on his Instagram page.
Dean’s family photo shows the Celebs Go Dating star sporting some stubble while wearing a white t-shirt and taking the group selfie at the front of the snap.
Meanwhile, Dean’s two stunning blonde daughters stand behind their dad with their heads placed closely to one another while they pout and smile.
Writing in the caption, Dean shared his joy at isolating with his two daughters amid the coronavirus lockdown.
Dean, who plucked up a surprising bromance with James Lock while on CGD, said: “Family really is everything at this time,” followed by a praying and red heart emoji.
The rare photo of Dean and his daughters received more than 5,000 likes from his 80,000 followers.
And, some of his fans couldn’t help but compliment the proud dad on his beautiful daughters.
One wrote: “They are beauties,” followed by a heart eye and pink heart emoji.
While another asked: “Are they your girls?? Wow they grow up fast,” followed by a red heart emoji.
And a third gushed: “Wow, beautiful girls xx”.
Meanwhile, another fan pointed out how the pair have a resemblance to reality stars Dani Dyer and Shaughna Phillips as they said: “Gosh I thought the left girl looks like dani Dyer and the right looks like shaughna from love island”. (sic)

The share from Dean will come as a relief to some of his fans as the actor, who previously claimed Love Island contestants “haven’t been brought up well”, recently feared he had contracted coronavirus.
He shared his worries on his Instagram story after seeing government guidelines and symptoms of covid-19 in a daily TV update in March.
Dean shared a photo of the government update on his TV screen and said: “I haven’t been able to smell or taste for 5 days… oh S**t!!!!”
The former EastEnders star recently shared his hopes to return to the soap after being axed last year.
Speaking to the Daily Star in March, he said: “I had a meeting with the boss and they said, ‘The door is left open for Robbie and we will definitely see you in the future’. It will happen at some point. It’s just a case of when it happens. So I can’t complain about that.
“It’s nice to know. It’s a bit cliched to say it, but I have been associated with that show on and off for 27 years and that’s a big chunk of my life.”
