Leslie Grantham has returned to his wife after she forgave him for his web sex scandal.

Jane Grantham left the former EastEnders star two years ago, when it was revealed he had performed sex acts in his BBC dressing room and sent sexual images to a 23-year-old on the internet. He was also sacked from his role as Dennis Watts.

Now his ex has let the actor return, the New of the World reports. The 54-year-old asked him back to her family home at Christmas, and he has now moved back in.

"They are back together now and much happier," a friend told the paper. "The whole sorry, sordid incident has not been forgotten but Leslie has been forgiven and they have put it behind them.

"Leslie knows he screwed up but they have had time apart and now they are just trying to get on with their lives."
