But as he cracked the wine open and the pair opened up to each other, sparks flew.

One called them the “weirdest couple” while others didn’t know what to think.

“Jean and Ian are honestly the weirdest couple but I’m here for it. #Eastenders,” wrote one fan.

Another asked: “Why am I warming to Ian and Jean? #EastEnders”

However, with Ian’s track record with women this could spell disaster for Jean as his wives don’t tend to stick around Walford for long – if they survive.

His first wife Cindy died in prison, his second Mel fled only to return recently, his third wife Laura died and his fourth wife Jane was left paralysed by his son Bobby and fled Walford.
