A video showing the moment that EastEnders actress Jessie Wallace was arrested for allegedly attacking a police officer outside a nightclub in the early hours of yesterday morning has surfaced.
The 50-year-old soap star, who is best known for playing Kat Slater on the long-running soap, has accepted a conditional caution for the incident outside the Verve nightclub in Bury St Edmonds.
In the video, Jessie can be seen being reprimanded by the officers, tangling with two at around 2am on Sunday.

A third officer then joins his colleagues as they attempt to restrain Jessie, who appears upset in the video.
A Suffolk Police spokesman said: "A 50-year-old woman was arrested early on Sunday morning in St Andrew's Street, Bury St Edmunds, on suspicion of assaulting a police officer / drunk and disorderly conduct and was released without charge after receiving a conditional caution."
While not a conviction, a conditional caution is used as an alternative to a charge and is recorded on the Police National Computer.
The caution is marked as spent three months after the date of issue, but it can be used in any possible future criminal proceedings as evidence of character.
Jessie has played Kat in the Walford based soap on and off for more than two decades.
In 2020, producers wrote her out for two months following an "incident while filming".
Jessie said that she was ordered to "sort herself out" by show bosses before she returned from the two month suspension.
The actress was also banned from driving for three years in 2003 and fined £1,000 after she was found guilty of drink driving.
She was one and a half times over the drink drive limit when she was stopped in her Mercedes by police in Chelmsford.
The star was previously banned from the road for 15 months some five years earlier for failing to take a breathalyser test.
