Jessie Wallace is reportedly in a relationship with her builder. The actress, best known for playing Kat Slater in EastEnders, has been seen getting cosy with a labourer she booked for a job at her home. Friends of the star say the pair have already jetted off on a romantic holiday abroad, and her new beau has already moved in, all in a matter of weeks.
"It’s like a plotline from the soap – a classic Kat escapade," a source told The Mirror. "Jessie seems to be over the moon." In recent snaps taken by The Mirror, the pair have been spotted getting close at Jessie’s house in the north London suburb of Muswell Hill, taking his van for a spin. While Jessie’s mystery man could be seen wearing a DeWalt body warmer and baggy trousers covered in paint, the actress, 50, donned a pair of designer sunglasses.
Later on, they were also spotted out in her Range Rover Evoque. OK! has gone to Jessie's representatives for comment. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox with OK!'s daily newsletter.

When she was first cast in EastEnders in 2000, the actress was dating Majora-based billionaire Paul Whitworth, who had previously been jailed for fraud. As she rose to fame, the pair split, and she went on to have a fling with an American, Andy Burton, who was six years her junior. However, he later went on to embarrass her with kiss-and-tell stories about their relationship.
