Jessie Wallace: 'I miss playing Kat'

Jessie Wallace has admitted that she misses her EastEnders character Kat Moon.

However, in an interview with This Is Lancashire, the actress said that she has no immediate plans to return to the soap.

She stated: "I left four years ago now and people are constantly asking me if I'm going back.

"I've done a lot since but I do miss her. Other people tell me they miss her too. She was a great character to play and I do miss working with Mo because I love her dearly.

"I don't have any plans as yet to go back. But yesterday someone came to the stage door saying they'd heard on the radio that Kat and Alfie were coming back. I said, 'That's news to me'."

Wallace added: "Every day people still call me Kat. I can't really get away from it, no matter how many characters I play, but I was in people's living room four times a week. I'm flattered that people still remember her."

Wallace is currently starring in the touring musical Stepping Out.
