One told the star: “Nice one babe-you’ll be handsome whatever gnashers you have.”
Former EastEnders actor Danny Hatchard joked: “Thank f**k, I’ll take my shades off next time I see ya x.”

Ladbrokes latest odds
After a poor weekend for AJ Odudu on the score front, the bookies have revealed it’s now John Whaite who is Rose Ayling-Ellis’ nearest challenger for the Glitterball Trophy at odds of 13/2, with AJ now being an 8/1 shot.
Elsewhere, Rose has pulled even further away at the head of the betting, and at 1/4, her odds of winning the series are now shorter than they’ve ever been.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Seven celebs are still standing, but it’ll take nothing short of a miracle to stop Rose from adding her name to the Glitterball Trophy in a few weeks from now, if the latest odds are anything to go by.”
