Fergison is in love for the first time

'Eastenders' actress Cheryl Fergison is adamant that her engagement to the man she met in an internet chat room will stand the test of time.

46-year-old Fergison who plays unlucky in love Heather Trot met her Moroccan toyboy Yassine Al-Jermoni in an internet chat room last April.

Al- Jermoni, who is 19 years younger than the soap actress, wooed Fergison with his web messages long before the pair even met in real life. Fergison revealed to ‘Now!’; “'I kind of fell for Yas before I actually saw him because he used to write such beautiful things to me.”

However there have been many negative stories written about Al-Jermoni’s real intentions, especially after he proposed to the soap star less then a year after they met, but now Fergison has hit back at all her detractors declaring; “Calling me crazy – that’s a strong word. I'm not crazy, I'm just crazy in love! There have been quite a few negative comments, but I think time will tell that he's a genuinely lovely, intelligent human being.”

Fergison who has been married before added; “I've fallen in love for the first time in my life. I've been married and had relationships before but this is really the first time that I know what love is.”
