Jessie Wallace has been filming fight scenes with Shane Richie on the set of EastEnders, it has been reported.
The 39-year-old actress, who plays Kat Moon to Richie's Alfie on the British soap, has returned to work after cancelling her wedding to love rat Vince Morse, but has been filming an argument with on-screen husband Richie all week.
A source told The Sun: "Jessie has been cut up about Vince and it's slightly unfortunate that she has had to film angry scenes with Shane. It was always a risk as Kat and Alfie have a tempestuous relationship at the best of times. But being a trouper, Jessie's been completely professional.
"You could forgive her wanting to maybe wait a while before filming such scenes - but it's probably a good way to get the stress out."

> Jessie Wallace's jilted groom's ex speaks out
Wallace has reportedly impressed her co-stars with her quick return to work and professional attitude. One friend said: "She seems to be coping really well - almost too well. On one level, it's like it's never happened. Everyone's been supportive but she's not wallowing in pity. The last thing she'd want is people to tiptoe around her."
The star cancelled her wedding to Morse after discovering that he had sent a picture of her with raunchy messages to his ex-lover Karen Short. After the scandal broke, she went to Greece for a week.
Wallace is apparently now considering whether she should celebrate her 40th birthday later this month, with one friend saying: "She's not really in the mood to celebrate, but 40 is a big milestone."
