EastEnders' Jessie Wallace is far cry from Kat Slater as she pops out in her slippers

EastEnders' Jessie Wallace has been spotted in a pair of comfy slippers - a world away from the high heels of her Kat Slater character.

Jessie, 49, who has played the iconic mouthy Slater since 2000, is famed for her love of leopard print paired with knee high boots and tight fitting skirts.

But her appearance away from Walford at the hub of the Slater family was a dramatic switch-up as Jessie paired the fluffy tan slippers with wide legged black jumpsuit and oversized knit scarf.

Shielding from the winter sun she sported some wide framed shades and Covid-secure face covering.

She was spotted in north London carrying a large M&S bag and clutching a documents bundle to her chest in another.

Jessie continued working in soapland, even when the Slater family dwindled from London and has taken on some the dramas most iconic scenes.

She has been at the centre of some of the BBC soap's biggest storylines with her character being revealed to be her "younger sister" Zoe's mum.

She later landed herself a spin-off show Redwater with the Queen Vic landlord Alfie Moon after viewers fell in love with the double-act.

Away from Albert Square the actress stepped out in style for a recent red carpet appearance as she attended Amy Winehouse 's Beyond The Stage exhibition.

Wearing an all-black ensemble, Jessie took the night off to attend a special preview of the new exhibition, which officially opens to the public at the Design Museum in London.

The actress swapped her trademark character's leopard print for an elegantly dark combo made her stand out on the red carpet.

She wore a ruched dress with a sharp angular neckline that belted at the waist, and finished the look off with chunky knee-high boots.
