Mr Tumble star Justin Fletcher, 55, is madly in love with his CBeebies co-star Samantha Dorrance, 34, who plays Tootsie on the hit children’s show Something Special.
The pair, who share a 21-year age gap, reconnected professionally last year and their long friendship quickly turned romantic.
Samantha has now moved into Justin’s £2.5 million farmhouse in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, which the couple call their peaceful countryside sanctuary.
They continue to work closely together, including touring the UK with live stage shows for children and families.
A source close to them said: “Justin and Samantha are madly in love and couldn’t be happier… For Justin, Samantha is ‘The One’.”
