He captioned the shot: “Lovely last night in Dubai with great company.. @joannebeckham @sandra_beckham49@rebekahroseward thank you @gordongram for the amazing food.”

Sandra commented on the post: “Was lovely night great to catch up.”

Dean, 39, has been enjoying a holiday in Dubai with Rebekah, 23.

In another snap from their trip the couple enjoyed a camel ride as they overlooked the incredible scenery.

He wrote: “Now I’ve sold her, how do I get these camels home!??? 🐫🐫🐫 😂😂.”

The couple also showed off their gorgeous tans as they glammed up for a night out.

Dean wrote: “Dubai with bae….Sorry how tanned do we look!!!!!!!!!!”

The actor made his return to Walford earlier this year after being away from the soap for a few years.

Speaking about why he was making a comeback Dean, who first played Robbie in 1993, admitted: “It’s a privilege to be asked back, because at the end of the day acting is a hard business.

“I’ve got children I need to put presents under the tree for. It’s a job I did from when I was 15, and I love it.

“And I need the money!”

Dean is dad to twin daughters Chloe and Charlotte – who are only two years younger than his girlfriend Rebekah.

Dean has been dating Rebekah for a year, after they first got together following his split from long-term girlfriend Sarah Burge – who he shares Chloe and Charlotte with.

Spending some time away from his family Dean jetted off to Ibiza with best pals Emmerdale’s Adam Thomas, former Corrie star Ryan Thomas and Emmerdale’s Danny Miller.

The lads enjoyed a wild few days soaking up the sun on the island alongside a bunch of their other friends for Adam’s stag do.

Adam is set to marry his fiancee Caroline Daly this month.

Dean uploaded a picture showing all the lads in a bar on the island.

With their sunnies on and drinks firmly in their hands the lads seemed to be having an amazing time.

Dean captioned the post: “Lads Lads Lads.”

Writing on Twitter after his wild stay in Ibiza, 28-year-old Adam said: “On a stag do, just so happens to be mine. Crazy! Feel like I’ve just picked up my GCSEs like, yesterday, and next month I’ll be a married man.”

Adam proposed to Caroline in Dubai. Speaking about the proposal he told OK! magazine: “On the day I was going to propose, Caroline described her perfect engagement ring and it was exactly the same as the one I had bought.

“I thought she’d seen the ring – I was absolutely gutted.”
