JOBLESS ex-EastEnders star Dean Gaffney admitted drink-driving yesterday — blaming the pressure of finding work during the pandemic.
The actor, 44, said he had been struggling to get a paying role and was living off his savings when police nabbed him.
Officers were alerted when they spotted his dodgy parking on the corner of a road.
There was a woman in the passenger seat, but police have not revealed whether it was Gaffney’s Russian model girlfriend Valerina, 25.
Prosecutor Lucy Lumsden said yesterday: “It was 11.40pm when police officers on mobile patrol saw an Audi A7 parked on a corner with its lights on and engine running.
“They approached and the driver’s side window was open. The driver appeared intoxicated, although he said he had not drunk any alcohol.
