EastEnders legend Jessie Wallace beams next to fiancé in rare snap

EastEnders legend Jessie Wallace shared a rare snap of her smiling at 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.

The soap star has been busy on EastEnders as of late, with chemistry starting to develop between Kat and ex Alfie Moon.

Though they are both currently single and recently co-habited, Kat has made it quite clear that they are nothing more than friends, much to Alfie’s disappointment.

Alfie isn’t the only one who wants them to reunite, with son Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) previously encouraging him to tell Kat how he truly feels.

Following Alfie’s battle with prostate cancer, Tommy urged him to fight for what he really wanted, having battled so hard to survive. But whether or not the former lovers will reunite remains to be seen!
