EastEnders’ Jessie Wallace dashes to the shops to stock up on lockdown supplies

EastEnders star Jessie Wallace looked cosy as she stepped out for a spot of shopping in a fluffy coat over the weekend.

The 49-year-old BBC star, who recently returned to the soap following a brief hiatus, cut a casual figure as she stocked up on supplies during the ongoing lockdown.

Carrying a large shopping bag in her hands, the actress wrapped up warm in a fluffy black coat and comfy black joggers as she picked up supplies.

She also donned a black face mask and finished her look off with a pair of black fluffy sliders that appeared to match her coat.

Jessie also scraped her jet black hair back into a casual bun and wore a pair of sunglasses on her head.

The actress, known for playing Kat Slater in the hit soap, went makeup free for her daytime outing and went on to pick up some meat from The Hampstead Butcher.

Jessie returned to EastEnders in August to reprise her role after being absent for several months.

The actress - who has starred on the show on and off since 2000 - had been dramatically suspended from the show earlier this year after reports claimed that she had turned up to filming drunk.

Jessie was reportedly written out of story lines for a brief period but made a triumphant return when filming resumed following the first lockdown.

In September, the actress also admitted that she enjoyed snogging her co-star Davood Ghadami while appearing on Secrets From The Square.

During the interview with Stacey Dooley, Jessie coyly discussed some of her raunchier scenes.

"I'm like, 'Oh ho ho ho!' I quickly go through the script and go, 'Oh, we snog! We snog in this one!'," Jessie jokingly told Stacey.

"Sometimes it's not in there and I say, 'Davood, do you think we should kiss in this one?'"
