Emmerdale star Matthew Wolfenden has reportedly been spotted on a date after split from wife Charley Webb. The actor and his co-star ex separated earlier this year.
They announced their decision to end their marriage earlier this week. Issuing joint statements, Charley’s version read: “It is with love and respect that Matthew and I have decided to separate.
“We remain friends and our priority is the love for our children. For their sake we would appreciate privacy at this time.”
Now it has been reported that Matthew appears to have already moved on. The actor is currently starring in Elf: The Musical in London’s West End.
According to reports he has been enjoying “secret late night dates” with the mystery woman. The Sun claims she has been meeting Matthew after the show each night.
An onlooker told the publication: “They looked like honeymooners, or loved-up teenagers. The pictures will prove a shock to the heart for poor Charley, even as her relationship with Matthew unravelled.”

Meanwhile Charley has reportedly moved on too – by leaving the family home. Speaking to The Sun, a source revealed that Charley had moved out of the home she shared with Matthew.
“Charley is really busy with work so she’s hardly at home anyway but she’s moved lots of her stuff out,” the source said.
“She spends her free time either with the kids or her best pal Sheridan Smith,” the tabloid’s source continued. “Sheridan’s house has become a real refuge for her during the split.”
With Matthew appearing in the stage version of Elf, his parents are at home, looking after their children.
“Matthew’s parents are holding the fort at home, while he’s also away doing Elf,” the source revealed.
