She made her long-awaited return to the set last month after filming resumed following lockdown.

But EastEnders star Jessie Wallace cut a casual figure as she headed out in an olive green tracksuit on Wednesday.

The actress, 48, who is known for playing Kat Slater on the BBC soap, returned to filming last month after being suspended in January for reportedly ‘turning up drunk on set.’

Jessie teamed the low-key green hoodie with matching bottoms as she jumped into her car with a shopping back in hand.

The soap star wore barely a scrap of makeup with her dark bobbed hair swept away from her face as she carried her purchases into the vehicle.

Jessie’s return to EastEnders is expected to air later this summer, after filming finally resumed last month.

Her return to Walford comes months after she was suspended for reportedly appearing drunk on set during filming, however she has now confirmed her return when she was spotted arriving on set.

The actress, who has played fiery Kat on and off for nearly two decades, was temporarily written out of storylines after her behaviour was ‘called into question’.

It was claimed that the soap star was hauled into a crisis meeting with show bosses who were said to have suspended her for two months, ordering her to ‘sort herself out’ before returning.

Step out like a soap star wearing Adidas trainers like Jessie

Invest in a pair of trainers, and you’ll have shoes you can rely on to be the perfect footnote to a dress, suit or even a tracksuit.

Eastenders star Jessie Wallace knows what we’re talking about as we spotted her out and about in the ‘Superstar 80’s’ trainers by Adidas.

Designed with a traditional white leather upper and contrasting gum sole the kicks instantly catch your eye. We especially love the sporty aesthetic and streamlined design that makes them a timeless addition to your shoe rack.

Although we’re waxing lyrical about Jessie’s shoes, they have now sold out. However, we’ve searched the virtual high-street to stoop out look-alikes which you can check out in the round up below.

A source told The Mirror: ‘Bosses were left with no choice but to discipline her. During the meeting she was told to sort herself out before returning to work.’

They added that series chiefs were relieved that Jessie had already filmed her scenes on the River Thames for the soap’s 35th Anniversary Special which subsequently aired on February 19.

The source continued: ‘Thankfully all of the episodes she appears in on the boat along the Thames have been shot, so her suspension didn’t cause any chaos to the soap’s big birthday week.’

EastEnders declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline at the time. MailOnline contacted Jessie Wallace’s representatives for comment at the time.

Filming of the beloved TV soap opera resumed on Monday and it is unclear when new episodes will air. 

On Monday, show stalwarts including Danny Dyer and Jake Wood were snapped adhering to social distancing guidelines while filming their scenes.

Those on set now have to follow new social distancing guidelines in accordance with government regulation so that they are able to return safely amid the crisis.   

Fans are anticipating the show returning several weeks down the line, as the programme aired its final episode earlier this month after running out of episodes due to the COVID-19 crisis.

The hit BBC One soap is keeping loyal viewers in suspense as they ended the show with a dramatic Sharon Mitchell cliffhanger.

Production on EastEnders came to a halt in March, when the UK went into lockdown and most people were instructed to stay home, and work from home if possible. 

The programme is set to return to the BBC with 20-minute episodes, four days a week.
