The screen star had emerged in her slippers to speak to two police officers, who parked their squad car in the middle of a suburban street on 28 December.

She was flanked by Tallulah, who she shares with her policeman ex Dave Morgan, as they engaged in the strained conversation with the law-enforcement officers. 

Jessie and her daughter were similarly-clad in comfortable garb as they spoke to and gesticulated at the police officers, who were pointing at a Range Rover. 

MailOnline contacted police officials and Jessie’s representative for comment at the time.
