Charley Webb came within moments of an awkward meeting with estranged husband Matthew Wolfenden's rumoured new girlfriend.

The actress so nearly bumped into his rumoured new love interest Heather Scott-Martin at his theatre performance just weeks after they called time on their five-year marriage. This weekend he furiously denied ever cheating on his wife, but he is said to have already moved on.

Former Emmerdale star Charley, 35, and Matthew, 43, who share three children together Buster, 13, Bowie, eight, and Ace, four, met on set and began dating in 2007 before revealing they were expecting their first child in 2009. But it has recently been announced that it is all over between them after they got hitched in 2018.

The actor angrily denied any reports that he's been unfaithful to Charley but the last thing she would have wanted was to meet up with his new love interest. He now reportedly dating professional dancer and personal trainer Heather, with the pair being spotted on a cosy night out in London.

He took his kids to watch him in Elf The Musical in at The Dominion Theatre in London's West End on Saturday and Charley was clearly on hand to help get there to the venue. Charley was dropping her three sons off at the theatre, she very nearly bumped into Heather, who was exiting at the same time. The duo missed each other by just seconds, with Heather rushing off.

A source told The Sun: “She was trying not to be seen with him, standing away from the stage door when he emerged from show rehearsals and shows. But now the cat is out of the bag. Heather is a clean cut, popular woman who was desperate not to be painted as Matthew’s ‘other woman’. She’s not happy about being thrust into the conversation of his celebrity marriage breakdown.”

Heather is currently working as the Swing and Dance captain in the West End musical, while Matthew stars in the production as Buddy. In a recent report, it was claimed Matthew started dating Heather before he split from Charley. But in a new post on Instagram shared with his 198,000 followers, Matthew says it is just not true. Along with a screenshot of him and Heather holding hands from an article about his new relationship with his co-star, he said: "Just to set the record straight.

"This (so called) reporting is an out and out LIE!" he said as he referred to a caption that claimed he started dating his Elf co-star before his split from Charley. "Glad to get that off my chest! And if you want to come see us both in Elf - click the link for tickets!"

Charley and Matthew announced their split last month in a statement shared to Instagram. Charley told her followers: “It is with love and respect that Matthew and I have decided to separate. We remain friends and our priority is the love for our children. For their sake, we would appreciate privacy at this time." Matthew also shared the same statement, but from his perspective on his social media. He signed it off with "M".
