Another photo showed Sarah wrapping her arms around her man while on the patio and enjoying a cosy movie night together.

Dean looked smitten as he posed alongside the stunning brunette during a date night. He captioned the post: “The girlfriend reveal… and honestly, it all makes sense now. “When I was younger, I used to ask my nan to pause on the Jasmine page in my Aladdin book so I could give her a little kiss. “Turns out I was manifesting early… because somehow I’ve ended up with my very own Princess Jasmine.” Dean and his E4 wife Sarah’s whirlwind marriage came crashing down after a string of awkward moments, including a fat-shaming row. The bride admitted almost instantly that she wasn’t attracted to her new husband due to his lack of tattoos. “Dean is such a lovely guy, but I’m going to have to be honest, I don’t want to rip his clothes off,” she said previously. “I’m just sensing a friend vibe more than a romantic vibe, and I haven’t come here for a friend. “My main concern is obviously there’s not that initial attraction. “There’s not that initial spark between us, or in my opinion anyway.” At the time, Sarah concluded, “He hasn’t got any tattoos.” It was after the now ex-couple’s wedding day that Sarah took another dig at Dean’s inkless body with controversial comments. The groom had asked Sarah if she’d ever been in a relationship with someone “overweight” and she said “no, never”. She told him, “Get some tattoos and lose some weight.” Sarah was dragged by fans for her “disrespectful” behaviour and the TV moment ultimately sparked a string of Ofcom complaints. After the show, Dean and Sarah surprised fans by staying in contact and meeting up. We exclusively revealed that Sarah and Dean were on good terms after filming the reality show earlier this year. They were spotted at a pub in London’s Charing Cross. “I was very shocked when I saw them together,” the onlooker who snapped the photographs told The Sun. “Dean looks like he’s been looking after himself, had a big smile on his face like he always does. “Sarah seemed the same as she was on the show.” On the reunion show, Dean said he was hopeful that something may still develop between him and Sarah, but she was quick to shut it down.
