EastEnders legend Jessie Wallace shared a rare snap of her smiling at6 her carpenter fiancé Justin

Gallwey.

Jessie, who plays Kat Slater on the soap, confirmed she was engaged to the carpenter last February after

being seen wearing a gold band on her ring finger while out and about.

And it seems like the couple are very much in love as Jessie posted a selfie on Instagram with Justin, 51, as she gazed at him.

‘My love @justin_gallwey,’ she captioned the post.

Despite having known each other since they were teens the couple dated for a year before Justin proposed.

Jessie and Justin have been planning to have their wedding this year.

Jessie, who has played Kat Slater in the BBC One soap on and off since 2000, was previously engaged to Vincent Morse, with the pair set to tie the knot in 2011 before the wedding was called off at the last minute.

She shares daughter Tallulah, 19, with ex Dave Morgan.

Jessie and Justin are believed to have been together for over a year, with Justin said to be a stabilising influence on her life following her 2022 arrest for drunk and disorderly conduct and allegedly assaulting a police officer outside a nightclub.
