Telly fave Bobby Davro has rubbished claims he is dating a woman half his age.
The 60-year-old comedian told his 30,000 followers on Twitter earlier today (June 15) that a story claiming he’s romantically involved with a mystery brunette is entirely false.
He tweeted: “As flattered as I am, I would like to make clear that I am not dating her and there is no truth in the article.”
Bobby, who split from his wife Trudy Jameson in 2003, also suggested he and girlfriend Vicky Wright are still going strong as he shared an image of them embracing.

He explained: “I have got the most beautiful girlfriend of 11 years, Vicky, and just because we were not together that evening and I’m photographed with [another] women does not mean I’m dating someone else.”
Fans following the funnyman on the social media site rushed to offer words of support, with Bobby retweeting a couple of posts – and Vicky also seemed to endorse a supporter’s message.
“Ignore them hun. You have so many female friends, me included,” tweeted a pal.
“You’re a warm and friendly loving person but you’re not a cheat.”

Another added: “You and Vicky are much in love and anyone knows you both knows that. Yawn.”
Offering her thanks to that tweeter, Vicky also ‘liked’ four other tweets giving their backing to Bobby and to them as a couple.
“You and Vicky make lovely couple,” read one of the posts liked by Vicky, the daughter of former England and Wolves captain Billy Wright.
