Dean 'supporting Waterman after split'

Letitia Dean is said to be supporting former EastEnders co-star Hannah Waterman following the actress's split from Ricky Groves.

According to The People, Dean - who played Walford's Sharon Rickman - let Waterman stay at her flat in London in the aftermath of the marriage break-up.

The pair, who are now on tour together in Calendar Girls, were last week pictured wearing similar black coats, boots and hats as they travelled to rehearsals together.

A source said: "[Letitia] has been a good friend to Hannah since her split with Ricky. They're almost joined at the hip and have even started dressing like each other."

Waterman and Groves, best known for their roles as Albert Square's Laura Beale and Garry Hobbs, broke up at the beginning of the year.
