I’ve met him, obviously. He seems like a really nice guy.” Last week Dean and Rebekah celebrated their first anniversar­y with a break in trendy holiday destinatio­n Capep Verde off the West African coast. The pair, who posted a series of lovedloved-up snaps, got together a after Dean split with his daughters’ mum tw two years ago. The star admitted t hat Sarah had d dumped him after growing tired of his cheating during their 2 22 years together. Racked with guilt at the way he treated his ex, he said: “Women were my drug and now, looking back, I’m ashamed of my past.

“How many times did it happen? I couldn’t put a finger on it.

“When it came to women, I definitely had a type. It’s well known that I liked a woman with a well-formed upper body.

Blame

“Whenever Sarah confronted me about my cheating, I’d just deny, deny, deny. She loved me so much, she wanted to believe me.”

Dean claims that having bad skin was to blame for his womanising ways after he joined the soap at 15.

He told fellow I’m A Celebrity contestant David Gest: “My outlet was being a red-blooded male.”
