'EastEnders' star won't be next Gaffney

The actor, who plays Sean Slater, has revealed that his whole life is revolving around the show at the moment - but he is enjoying every minute of it.
"I want to be known as an actor, not a celebrity. So it's better if I'm not seen out every night," he told the Sunday Mirror. "EastEnders used to be full of people like Dean Gaffney who were going out all the time.
"Now he's skint and on I'm A Celebrity. I want to be known for my work, not for getting photographed rolling out of a nightclub. EastEnders is my life. Usually it's 7am to 7pm, then I get home, have dinner and learn my lines for five hours.
"My friends laugh at me because I never go out any more. They say I'm boring. But I don't care. I don't drink and I don't do drugs."
