EastEnders star Jessie Wallace arrested for disorderly conduct in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk

EastEnders actress Jessie Wallace was arrested outside a nightclub, according to video.

Officers detained the actor, who is best known for her role as Kat Slater in the BBC soap, at a Burger King in Bury St Edmunds in the early hours of Tuesday.

Wallace, 50, had gone to the Suffolk town’s Flex nightclub after seeing Madness perform in Thetford Forest in Brandon on Saturday, where she posed for photos with fans.

In Bury St Edmunds, the celebrity was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer as well as drunk and disorderly conduct.

Suffolk Police later discharged her without charge after issuing a conditional caution.

‘A 50-year-old woman was arrested early on Sunday morning on St Andrew’s Street, Bury St Edmunds, on suspicion of assaulting a police officer / drunk and disorderly behavior and was released without charge after obtaining a conditional caution,’ a Suffolk Police spokesman said.

Her arrest was not confirmed by the police, and neither her agent nor her manager responded to requests for comment.

Wallace was photographed outside a party in Hackney following the British Soap Awards earlier this month.

As she left the party in east London, the star was dressed in a glitzy top, bright white trousers, and no shoes.
Wallace, who was born in Enfield, north London, joined EastEnders in 2000 after appearing in the crime thriller The Bill a year before.

She portrayed Kat Slater, a barmaid who is the partner of Shane Richie’s popular character Alfie Moon. She soon established herself as a fan favorite.
After a five-year hiatus, the couple returned to the screen in the autumn of 2010 for another season of the popular soap.

In 2015, they went on a six-month hiatus to film Kat & Alfie: Redwater, their own BBC One drama.
