EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney has taken to Twitter to defend himself against his brother's accusations.  The 37-year-old, who plays Robbie Fowler on the soap expressed his disappointment at having his sibling sell lies about him.

In life we're let down..But you never expect your own flesh and blood to sell lies about you..I have no words! I'll let Karma deal with you!

In an interview with the Daily Star, Dean's brother Gary alleged that the actor had a habit of sleeping with fans and had even named his penis after his character's dog, Wellard. Dean plays Robbie Fowler on the BBC soap (image via BBC.)  He said: "Obviously people go 'How's Wellard?' and he'll look down at his manhood and go, 'Yeah, he's alright'. When you're 37, it's not that funny anymore. "I think he will go off the rails again… He's a player and a pick-up artist. That won't go down well with the show because he won't be able to keep it in his trousers." Dean recently returned to Albert Square for a seven week stint.  "My parents think it's great he's on TV but they hate that he acts so sleazily. They are ashamed." Dean recently opened up about his split from long-term partner Sarah Burge, with whom he has 19-year-old twin daughters. Addressing rumours that his cheating led to their split, he told The Sun: "Women were my drug and now, looking back, I'm ashamed of my past."
