Dame Barbara Windsor's former EastEnders co-star Dean Gaffney was turned away from her funeral today, reports claim. The actor, 42, sadly could not pay his respects at Golders Greene Crematorium in London due to strict Covid-19 restrictions that allow only 30 people to attend a funeral.
Dean - famed for playing Robbie Jackson on the BBC soap alongside telly legend Barbara - was unable to be part of the 45-minute service and was sent home from the venue, The Sun reports.
The actor - who has appeared on Celebs Go Dating last year - was pictured outside the funeral on Friday and looked prepared to pay his respects in a black suit teamed with a crisp white shirt and a brown tie.
