Could this Tinder profile really be Dean Gaffney?

IveNeverShaggedDeanGaffney · 16/07/2026 20:26

On Tinder (I know....) and just seen a profile allegedly of Dean Gaffney. Didn't seem to be a mick take and the photos were candid rather than from the media but surely not? But then if you were catfishing I'm sure you'd pretend to be someone more interesting/attractive...

Funniest thing about it all is that a rumour was spread that I have actually been with him. I 100% haven't, but I do know someone who has and considers it an achievement....

It is him, he’s been on it years, he used to message a colleague of mine on it in about the 2021 lockdown, we got him to send a selfie out of sheer curiosity as we didn’t believe it was him (I say we as it became a whole office interest 😂)

I suppose the whole thing that’s amused me is that absolute pricks on tattle have accused me of shagging him already then he pops up on my tinder

Is this whole post just a clap back at Tattle?

You seem to be searching for attention. You want people to ask who you are. Sad.

No she doesnt. I saw him on Bumble a few years ago.

NoArmaniNoPunani · 16/07/2026 22:42

He gets pissed off and blocks people if they mention Wellard

Why would it not be?

Dane Bowers has just entered my mind…

That’s probably all you’d want him to enter

What is Tinder?

What is Dean Gaffey?

How does anyone know or care who you are on tattle, an anonymous forum? Unless you've been randomly going on about Dean Gaffney.

To be fair i think Tattle is like that. You could be a vaguely known poster on there and someone gets a bee in their bonnet and then starts a massive thread about you? Not that I go on Tattle (much) but someone I used to worth had threads and threads about them on tattle and they’re a total nobody. I did obviously go on to read the threads. 😁

lnsufficientFuns · 16/07/2026 22:56

Did you shag him OP
Was he wellard?
🤮

Who was CB doing?

What is a Callum Best?

Dilemma999 · 16/07/2026 22:58

He sounds totally sleazy. Yuk.

Julymoy · 16/07/2026 22:59

There was a picture of him (I can't be bothered to google) of him sleezing around young women. He was waving his credit card about and someone managed to get the numbers from the photo.

Badbovril · 16/07/2026 23:04

I seem to remember he's come up on "celeb conquest" threads on here; not sure he qualifies as either...

DaysIllRememberAllMyLife · 16/07/2026 23:07

Why do you keep banging on about Tattle? This isn't Tattle.

I might go to the Daily Mail website and write loads of comments about AIBU.

LaBelleSauvage123 · 16/07/2026 23:09

I used to teach a girl who went out with Dean Gaffney when she left school at 16.

It’s such strange behaviour.
OP, this isn’t Tattle. Most of us have never even been on Tattle. We don’t care what some random people on a random forum are saying about who you may or may not have shagged.
If you have an issue with another forum, take it up with them. Why would anyone on MN care?

Who is Dean Gaffney?

I actually had to Google him because I had no idea, nor do I know most of the names mentioned in this thread 😂(I was born in 97)

Any1ForTennis · 17/07/2026 01:07

Omg, I so crap with celebs, I thought he was married to that Stacey thingymabob formerly of xfactor and latterly of Loose Women?

BornToBeWithYourMan · 17/07/2026 01:35

I still cant find him HELP ME

You're likely outside of his age range. I aged out about 4 years ago, I'm mid 30s.

Sartre · 17/07/2026 09:11

I know he crops up a lot on the threads about celebs you’ve met or whatever and a few have said they know people who have shagged him so he gets about. He isn’t famous is he really, unless you’re over 30 and watched eastenders years ago.

This thread is very funny, thanks for making me laugh.
