EastEnders legend Jessie Wallace shares rare snap with carpenter fiancé as she tells him ‘I love you’
EASTENDERS legend Jessie Wallace shared a rare snap with her carpenter fiancé as she told him she loved him.
Jessie, who plays Kat Slater on the soap, confirmed she was engaged to her carpenter boyfriend Justin Gallwey last year.
Now Jessie, 52, has posted a selfie on Instagram with Justin, 51, as she lovingly looked up at him.
She simply captioned the post: “My love @justin_gallwey.”
One fan commented: “The way you look at him Jess.”
Whilst another added: “Beautiful couple,” alongside two red hearts.
“You two are adorable,” penned a third.
And a fourth added: “Awe wow, the love u both show in this pic is incredibly strong, hope you’re both well.”
Despite having known each other since their teenage years, the couple dated for a year before Justin proposed.
Jessie and Justin have been planning to have their wedding this year.
Pals said Jessie would be inviting her friends on the BBC soap, including Shane Ritchie who plays her ex-husband Alfie Moon.
Last year, a source said: “Jessie is over-the-moon about her engagement and is starting to put plans in place for her wedding.
“At the moment it is looking like early next year in the UK and there could be a possible magazine deal in the works.
“Naturally she will have some of her EastEnders co-stars there, Shane of course.
“It is quite funny that when she ties the knot, Jessie will have Shane there as their characters have walked down the aisle twice.
“Others likely to get an invite include Natalie Cassidy who is a friend of Jessie’s and Emma Barton.
“It is a really special time for her and everyone is incredibly happy for Jessie.”
