Jessie Wallace dumped by boyfriend

Jessie Wallace has been dumped by boyfriend Chris Osborn.

The former EastEnders actress, who played barmaid Kat Slater on the BBC soap, angered the builder by apparently acting like a "drama queen" throughout their relationship. She had started dating Chris in August after they were introduced by mutual friends.

"I don't want any more to do with her," Chris told the News of the World. "I can't say any more. You don't want to get on the wrong side of Jessie."

A source close to Osborn added: "Jessie turned into a control freak. She wanted to know where Chris was all the time and was a nightmare to go out with.

"He is a down-to-earth bloke and couldn't be doing with her being a drama queen. When they were friends she was a great laugh but as a girlfriend she was a neurotic wreck. I think he is pleased to see the back of her."
