Ex-'EastEnders' star in drugs allegation
Former EastEnders actress Jessie Wallace has started taking the drug ketamine, her ex-lover's son has claimed.

Wallace, who played Kat Slater in the London-based soap, has allegedly started taking the powerful general anaesthetic instead of cocaine.

The son of her ex-partner David Kerwood told The People: "It's well known Jessie has enjoyed cocaine - but the ketamine is a new thing for her and it's really messing her up.

"I've seen her snort line after line of it and she is a wreck after she uses it. I'm glad my dad got out of her life when he did because she is on a self-destruct mission."

He added: "She called me last week but I didn't answer - I don't want to talk to her. Her behaviour can be disgusting but I feel sorry for her.

"She can be lovely and she loves her daughter - but she needs help. She needs to take control of her own life before she ends up in the gutter with all the drunks and drug addicts."
