The 46-year-old actress, who played Kat Slater in the BBC soap, is said to have been assaulted at the Partridge pub in Bromley after refusing requests for a photograph.

Ashmall explained that the police and an ambulance arrived at the scene, and while most of the cast – including Jessie – were left unscathed after the attack, Jason required stitches for his injury. She said of former EastEnders star Jessie: “She was furious with what happened.” Police are said to be continuing with their enquiries, and as yet no arrests have been made. Jessie and her on-screen partner, Shane Richie, took a ‘break’ from EastEnders in 2015 to star in the BBC spin-off series Redwater. As it turned out, it was the last we’d see of them – appearing on This Morning together in January 2016, the actors revealed that they wouldn’t be returning to Walford.

He said: “I love the idea of going back. And I’m sure Jessie would love to – if the storyline’s right. Who knows? Maybe next year.” Share Add as preferred source on Google Add as preferred source on Google Good to Know Share Add as preferred source on Google Add as preferred source on Google By Nancy Brown 8 Dec 2017, 14:12 By Nancy Brown 8 Dec 2017, 14:12 Previous Story Next Story
