He probably would fit in with them well judging by this in todays people
EX-EASTENDER Dean Gaffney drove into a woman horse-rider and spat and swore in an alleged road rage attack.
The star lost his temper as Jo Freeman and two friends rode carefully in single file in front of his Audi TT sports car on a country lane.
Jo, 24, claims that Gaffney, who played EastEnders roadsweeper Robbie Jackson...
SWORE and threatened to stamp on her face.
HIT her horse's leg, knocking her stirrup as he drove into her.
SPAT on her friend's horse.

Jo, who didn't recognise 27-year-old Gaffney at first, told The People: "A grey sports car was creeping up dangerously close from behind as we approached a bend.
"I felt my horse Jake tense up and start snorting."
Worried Jo asked Gaffney if he was going to get any closer.
The actor then swung on to the wrong side of the road and pulled up alongside the horses.
Jo said: "He leaned across the steering wheel and said 'What did you *********g say?' so I repeated myself.
"Then he turned the steering wheel and all I could see was the car wheel coming into my horse's front leg. I felt the car on my stirrup iron.
"He shouted 'I'll get out of the car and stamp on your face'.
"You get arrogant drivers sometimes, but in 18 years' riding I've never had such a frightening scene."
Gaffney is also alleged to have spat at Jo's pal Kirsty Smeiman.
Kirsty, 21, said: "Suddenly this massive flob flew out and landed on my horse's hind leg.
"I couldn't believe my eyes - how disgusting to behave like that." Equine student Kirsty added: "When we heard his voice we knew we had heard it before. It was Robbie from EastEnders.
"I looked in the car and was shocked - Robbie was so different in the show, almost weedy."
Rider Mel Blue, 27, who was at the front of the party, said: "I've been riding for over 20 years but never have I been so scared.
"Being famous gives him no excuse whatsoever."
Police later questioned Gaffney over "a verbal altercation" near his home at Cobham, Surrey, at around 11am on August 17.
A police spokesman said: "He was reported for summons under the Public Order Act."
Magistrates will now decide whether to call Gaffney before the court.
Gaffney's agent Alison Lee told The People: "The alleged case is in the hands of Dean's solicitors."
Gaffney was held in police cells on Christmas Day then freed without charge after a brawl at a family party.
