Children’s TV legend Mr Tumble, aka Justin Fletcher, 55, is reportedly “madly in love” with his co-star Samantha Dorrance, 34, while the duo enjoy a peaceful life on his £2.5million farmhouse in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
The pair star in the beloved CBeebies show Something Special, where Samantha plays Tootsie, Mr Tumble’s character’s best friend. Together, they also tour across the UK, performing live for children and families.
Friends say Justin and Samantha couldn’t be happier. “Justin was single for a while before reconnecting with Samantha,” a source revealed. “For him, she’s ‘The One.’ The age gap isn’t an issue — they’re madly in love.”
The couple’s relationship reportedly blossomed last year when Samantha moved into Justin’s six-bedroom farmhouse. The farm is described as their sanctuary, a place where both feel most at ease. On social media, Samantha often shares glimpses of their life together without explicitly tagging Justin, referring to him as “her partner.”
Earlier this year, Samantha posted: “Last year, me and my partner hatched our own chickens. I noticed all the eggs we had been buying were fertilised, and my partner had an old incubator, so we used it.”
Even football star Wayne Rooney humorously blamed Mr Tumble for his 2018 vasectomy, claiming he couldn’t endure watching the show with his four children any longer.
Despite the age gap and media attention, Justin and Samantha continue to charm fans with their performances and glimpse into their shared farm life, proving that love — and a bit of countryside magic — knows no bounds.
