Rufus Hound finds love with EastEnders actress

Rufus Hound has found love with a former ‘EastEnders’ actress.

The 44-year-old comedian has moved on from his ex-wife Beth Johnson - with whom he shares son Alby and daughter Hilda, and who he split from in 2020 after 13 years of marriage - and is in a relationship with Sally Hodgkiss, who appeared in the BBC One soap as Walford East waitress Steph Bailey in 2019.

The pair attended the Glastonbury Festival together last weekend and Rufus has taken to social media to describe Sally as the "absolute best person".

He posted on Twitter: “No-one has ever loved me as much as this woman and the best bit is she's all things wonderful.

“It's a blessing to be her boyfriend and she is my absolute best person that I didn't make.

"She makes everything fun and good all the time. She's sunshine and snogging and smiling all at once. It was the BEST time."

Sally - who was performing stand-up comedy at Glastonbury - met Rufus when they both starred in the Norwich Theatre 2022 pantomime ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ and she has reciprocated her boyfriend's sentiment in her own social media posts.

Writing on Twitter, she said: "Well glastonbury⁩ 2023 was UNREAL!

"P.s @RufusHound is the best person I ever met. So there’s that as well."

When the former 'Dancing On Ice' competitor announced the "sad" news of the end of his marriage in 2020, he assured his fans that he "will always remain best friends” with his ex Beth

Rufus said: “In April, Beth and I made the sad decision to end our marriage.

“We will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated we will always remain best friends."
