An EastEnders co-star of Jessie Wallace has offered an explanation into the incident that saw the actress handcuffed and bundled into a police van last month.
Kat Slater star Jessie, 50, was lucky not to be sacked by BBC bosses after she drunkenly attacked a police officer during a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, on 19 June.
Speaking sympathetically of the actress, Scott Maslen, who plays Jack Branning in the long-running soap put the incident down to 'tiredness' claiming she had since 'learned' her lesson.
