But before she landed the role of Kat, Jessie appeared in an episode of hit police drama, The Bill.

Jessie played P.C. Karen Lace in an episode called A Night To Forget and a picture of her in her police uniform resurfaced on Twitter this week.

The star looked fresh faced with her dark hair in a short style, very similar to how it looked when she first started on EastEnders.

Jessie and the rest of the Slater family joined the BBC soap in September 2000, before she left in 2005.

She returned in 2010 before departing once more in 2016, before she reappeared in Walford in 2018 where she remains now.

Meanwhile, Jessie left fans hot under the collar last week with a sexy lingerie snap posted to her social media.

The brunette actress posted a throwback for her legion of fans, and could be seen lounging on a bed in black lingerie.

Jessie shot a sultry look at the camera as she clutched playing cards in her hand.

The EastEnders icon wore her locks up in a loose do and sported a very glam makeup look.

In a second snap, Jessie shared a throwback photo of her co-star Lucy Benjamin, who looked equally as sensational.

Lucy wore platform heels and a see-through night gown with the straps hanging down and her dark blonde locks up in the photo.

Jessie penned as a caption: “The Walford babes 2002,” and fans were in awe of the sexy shoot.

One person wrote: “JEEEEEEEZ,” while a second added: “Absolutely love this.”

Lucy also commented, playfully writing: “Wish it was still 2002,” followed by a laughing face emoji.
