She had to be helped into a cab after her fall.

Wearing a fur coat and holding a pink handbag, ­a passerby filmed Jessie, 46, as she tried to get back on her feet during the night out in Soho, central London.

The footage shows a man laughing and saying: “It’s Kat...all up on the floor.

"Hey wagwan Kat?”

The stranger then adds: “Small world, innit Kat?”.

 The incident happened last Saturday at 1am in Soho, Central London

A seemingly dazed and confused Jessie replies: “Yeah, it is.”

An onlooker to last Saturday’s 1am incident, said: “We saw a woman fall over in the street and recognised it was Kat Slater from EastEnders.

“I took out my phone to record just in case she fell over again.

"She was off her face.

"I was surprised by the way she was all over the floor in a public place.

“We stood with her for about ten minutes chatting.

"I asked her how much she gets paid and why she left EastEnders, but she didn’t tell me.

“She said the man that was with her was her boyfriend.

"She got in a cab with him, I guess to go home.

"She clearly had a bit too much to drink.”

Jessie recently promised her character and other members of the Slater family will be “loud and brash” when they return to the BBC1 soap.
