Ex EastEnder Katie Jarvis says sorry two years after 'sickening' drunken racist tirade

Disgraced ex Eastenders star Katie Jarvis said she is "horrified" by the vile racist abuse she used during a row on Southend seafront, as she admitted she "struggles to watch the video footage to this day".

The 30-year-old, who played Hayley Slater in the BBC soap between 2018 and 2019, was today ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work, after she shouted "black lives don't matter" and called a group of women "black c***s" while drunk, later bragging about being in EastEnders.

The actress spewed racist abuse in front of children while walking along the seafront in Southend-on-Sea in July 2020, Cyrus Shroff, prosecuting, told Basildon Crown Court at Jarvis' sentencing hearing.
