EastEnders’ Jessie Wallace cuts a casual figure in sportswear as she picks up her dog from the vets…after returning to filming following her suspension
She recently made her return to EastEnders following her suspension for reportedly ‘boozing on set’.
But Jessie Wallace took a break from Albert Square as she picked up her dogs from the vet in North London on Friday.
The actress, 48, cut a sporty figure in a dappled grey top which she teamed with navy blue shorts.

She teamed the look with fluffy blue sliders and donned a pair of black shades.
Jessie tied her hair up into a high ponytail and went make-up free for the outing.
The actress failed to raise a smile as she walked along with her pooch by her side.

It comes after Jessie returned to filming in Walford months after she was suspended for reportedly appearing drunk on set during filming.
The actress, who has played fiery Kat on and off for nearly two decades, was temporarily written out of storylines after her behaviour was ‘called into question’.
A source told the Sun Online that Jessie’s recent outing to the pub is unlikely to land her in any trouble with her bosses.
They said: ‘Jessie was socialising in her free time, and has reported to work as normal so she will not need to be spoken to.’
It had been claimed that Jessie was hauled into a crisis meeting with show bosses, who were said to have suspended her for two months, ordering her to ‘sort herself out’ before returning.

A source told The Mirror: ‘Bosses were left with no choice but to discipline her. During the meeting she was told to sort herself out before returning to work.’
They added that series chiefs were relieved that Jessie had already filmed her scenes on the River Thames for the soap’s 35th Anniversary Special which subsequently aired on February 19.
The source continued: ‘Thankfully all of the episodes she appears in on the boat along the Thames have been shot, so her suspension didn’t cause any chaos to the soap’s big birthday week.’
Filming of the beloved TV soap opera resumed last month, but it is unclear when new episodes will show on TV after it aired its final episode in June.
