Newly single Matthew Wolfenden cuddles up to co-star on the red carpet in first appearance since split from Charley Webb
EMMERDALE star Matthew Wolfenden looked very cosy with Georgina Castle as they posed on the red carpet.
The pair are currently starring in Elf The Musical, with Matthew playing Buddy and Georgina playing his love interest Jovie.
Matthew grinned as he wrapped his arm around Georgina’s waist at the show’s opening night in London.
Missing the festive memo, he wore a black suit over a white t shirt, while Georgina looked sensational in a white suit.
Matthew and Charley announced this month that they’d split up after five years of marriage.
The soap sweethearts tied the knot in 2018 and have three children together – Buster, 13, Bowie, eight, and Ace, four.
They released a joint statement on their Instagram accounts tonight in which they insisted they will remain friends.
Charley’s version read: “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.”
Earlier this month, Matthew hinted that their marriage was in trouble after he unfollowed his wife on Instagram.
He had not commented on any of her recent pictures or posted about her in over year.
Charley has left the one million pound mansion that she shared with Matthew and the kids.
Matthew’s parents have moved in to help look after the children.
“Charley is really busy with work so she’s hardly at home anyway but she’s moved lots of her stuff out,” a source told The Sun.
“She spends her free time either with the kids or her best pal Sheridan Smith.
“Sheridan’s house has become a real refuge for her during the split.”
“Matthew’s parents are holding the fort at home, while he’s also away doing Elf.”
