Saved by the Bell star Mark-Paul Gosselaar has revealed that he dated co-star Elizabeth Berkley in real life.

Yep, that's Jessie, not Tiffani Thiessen aka Zack's lobster, Kelly Kapowski.

The two stars – aka Zack Morris and Jessie Spano – were staples of the 80s/90s teen show, and Gosselaar has admitted that they were an item.

"We dated. If you want to call it dating, sure," he said on Anna Faris' Unqualified podcast. "You're in an environment, you know how it is when you're working on a set, and we were young, I mean we were young.

"There's no one around really. I mean, you work and live in a bubble."

He continued: "You're in LA, right. You're in your cars and you come to set and you do your work and you're with these beautiful women and then you go back in your car.

"You're not going to school, so you don't have a lot of choices. People say, ‘Well didn't you go out?' Not really."

Gosselaar recently reflected to Digital Spy on his iconic status as Zack Morris on Saved by the Bell, admitting it was "endearing" to be associated with the character.

"You can’t get upset with things like that. It’s endearing. It comes from a good place," he said. "It’s not too often in your career that you get to create an iconic character, and that’s exactly what we did. It doesn’t bother me at all."
