Dean Gaffney is scared about his upcoming appearance on \'Celebs Go Dating\'.
The 42-year-old actor will appear on the new series of the E4 dating show, alongside former \'The Only Way is Essex\' star Amy Childs, \'Made In Chelsea\'s Olivia Bentley, ex-\'Hollyoaks\' actor Malique Thompson-Dwyer, TOWIE\'s James Lock and \'Love Island\'s Amy Hart but admitted he is nervous.
He told The Sun Online: "This will be the most open I have been on TV and that is what scares me.
"TV is changing. The only reality telly I have done is the jungle. I have always said you do your big hitters, but celebrity w***ing a pig off on the farm is not where I want to be.
"I don\'t want to do that. I don\'t need to be on TV. I don\'t want to be famous -I just want to carry on acting and doing my craft.
"\'Celebs Go Dating\' is kind of a cult show. I am not going on a coach trip or going on a farm. I think if you are going to do a show, do the right one.
"The life of an actor is hard. You are only as good as your last job.
"You have to keep your bank balance earning - and you have to feel fulfilled.
"There\'s nothing worse than having too much time on your hands and being stuck at home watching daytime TV every day."
Dean - who played Robbie Jackson in \'EastEnders\' from 1993 to 2003, and 2017 to 2019 - split from his ex-girlfriend Rebekah Rose-Ward, 25, earlier this year and previously revealed he is on the search for an "unbreakable force".
Referring to Robbie\'s late dog Wellard in the soap, Dean said: "I\'m looking for that Wellard kind of love, you know that unbreakable force. It\'s hard to find someone that you can do nothing with, that\'s what I want."
