Ex EastEnders actress Katie Jarvis admits racially aggravated harassment and assault

Ex-EastEnders actress Katie Jarvis has pleaded guilty to racially aggravated harassment and assault.

Jarvis, who played Hayley Slater but left the BBC soap in 2019, had previously denied the two offences, which took place in Southend-on-Sea. The racially aggravated harassment was against Michelle Antonio and others, while the common assault was of Toby Groom.

Now, the 30-year-old has admitted to the charges, pleading guilty at Basildon Crown Court on Tuesday, which was due to be the first day of her trial. She was bailed and is due to appear in court on Wednesday for sentencing.
