Joel Beckett dating Emma Barton?

Ex-EastEnder Joel Beckett is seeing the soap's Emma Barton, it has been reported.

Beckett, formerly Albert Square's Jake Moon, apparently got together with the actress who plays Honey Mitchell three months ago.

A friend told The Sun the pair were “totally smitten”.

She added: “Emma and Joel have been good mates for a while, but it has blossomed into romance."

Beckett, who left last autumn, also dated Jessie Wallace, who played Kat Slater, for a short period two years ago.
