EastEnders star Jessie Wallace cut a casual figure on Thursday when she bought a coffee before a busy day of filming wearing a T-shirt and fluffy slippers

Comfort is key: EastEnders’ Jessie Wallace cut a casual figure in a baggy T-shirt and fluffy slippers on Thursday when she grabbed a coffee ahead of a day of filming

She kept her ensemble low-key, wearing a black T-shirt – featuring a design on the front – and black shorts.

The actress also wore black-framed glasses and a black face mask as she left the coffee shop.

The only splash of colour in her casual outfit was a pair of cream-coloured fluffy slippers.

Last month, Jessie’s co-star Max Bowden split from long-term girlfriend Danielle McCarney, four weeks after Jessie left a sexually-explicit message on his Instagram post.

The EastEnders actor, 26, who plays Ben Mitchell in the BBC1 soap, called time on the relationship with the former show runner after two years and it’s believed the decision was amicable.

Fans of the soap speculated at the time of Jessie’s crude post on a throwback picture of Max at the 2020 NTAs, in which she wrote: ‘Remember…if you need a m***e to cry on…I’m yer gal’, was a hint the pair were romantically involved.

Max’s followers were taken aback by the crude comment as they shared their shock and amusement online. 

One fan penned: ‘Omg,’ alongside a crying laughing emoji while another said: ‘@jessie.wallace_official we need more Kat, Ben & Phil scenes ❤️’.

Another wrote: ‘@jessie.wallace_official Supportive m***e.I’m defiantly using this as a pick up line. Cheers Jess,’ in addition to crying laughing emojis. 

But pals told MailOnline Jessie’s comment was simply a joke and Max was with Danielle at the time. It’s not linked to the split.

A source close to the star said: ‘Max and Danielle’s split had been on the cards for a while.

‘The relationship was a whirlwind at the start but ran into trouble a few months ago. They tried to make it work but they decided to remain friends. Nobody else was involved.

‘Max is still very fond of Danielle and he’s gutted it didn’t work out. The consolation is at least they parted on good terms.’

An EastEnders spokeswoman said: ‘We never comment on personal matters.’

Surprising! Fans of the soap speculated at the time of Jessie’s crude post on a throwback picture of Max at the 2020 NTAs
