Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden has spoken out in defence of his new girlfriend, actress and personal trainer Heather Scott-Martin.
The actor spotted a newspaper story suggesting he and Heather had got together before his split from wife Charley Webb.
And Matthew, currently starring as Buddy the Elf in Elf The Musical, wasn’t happy. He went straight on Instagram to dispel the story, screengrabbing a photo of the article.
Matthew said: “Just to set the record straight… This (so called) reporting by the Daily Mail is an out and out LIE!”
Matthew Wolfenden: ‘Can you leave us alone now?’
He highlighted a line in the article which suggested their romance had started before Matthew’s split from Charley. He also played the song Tell Me Lies on his Instagram Story.
Matthew, 43, added: “Can you leave us alone now? And shame on anybody who believes anything that these red tops report!”
He then said: “Glad to get that off my chest! And if you want to come see us both in @elfmusicalldn, click the link for tickets!”
