Jessie Wallace was arrested for allegedly attacking a police officer at a nightclub.

Jessie Wallace was arrested for allegedly attacking a police officer at a nightclub.

The Sun reports that the actress, who plays Kat Slater in the BBC One soap, was involved in a fracas outside Flex in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Following a foul-mouthed tirade, she is alleged to have kneed a police officer in the groin.

Jessie, 50, was taken in by police who gave her a caution for her disorderly conduct.

A Suffolk Police spokesperson told ATV Today:

“A 50-year-old woman was arrested on Sunday morning in St Andrew’s Street, Bury St Edmunds, on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and drunk and disorderly conduct. The woman was released without charge after receiving a conditional caution.”

EastEnders bosses are reportedly holding “crisis talks” to discuss the actress’s future on the soap.

Jessie has played the role of feisty Kat since September 2000 with her first appearance in the role recently repeated on the Drama channel. She decided to leave the serial in 2005 and was written out in December of that year.

Five years later, she reprised the role, with Kat returning to Walford in September 2010.

Jessie continued to play Kat until May 2015, before reprising the role again for three weeks at Christmas 2015. She made a further return to the show in March 2018 after appearing in spin-off drama Redwater in 2017.

Central to many high-profile plots, Kat is best known for the storyline in which she revealed to her sister Zoe that she is actually her mum after she was raped by her uncle at the age of 13.

The character is also known for her stormy relationship with ex-husband Alfie (Shane Richie).

EastEnders airs Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7.30pm on BBC One and iPlayer
