Jessie Wallace calls off engagement

Eastenders star Jessie Wallace has called off her wedding at the last minute following reports of her fiancé’s infidelity.

According to the Daily Star, the actress, who plays landlady Kat Moon in the soap, has been left devastated after discovering her fiancé, Vincent Morse, sent "explicit photos" of her to his ex-girlfriend.

Morse’s ex-girlfriend, Karen Short, told the tabloid:

"Vince and I met up as recently as December - I had no idea about Jessie. We spent the night together at a hotel. I was absolutely shocked.

"When I received the explicit photograph of Jessie from Vince last month I felt really uncomfortable. The photo was sent with the accompanying caption, 'this is what you will get x'."

The Mirror is also reporting that the actress had planned to jilt Morse at the altar, with a friend telling the newspaper:

"Jessie was deadly serious about dumping him at the altar. She wanted to shame him the way she feels he has humiliated her.

"She was determined to do it so that everyone would know exactly what she thought of him. But as it got nearer she was just too upset and decided it was better just to cancel the whole thing."

Wallace's spokesperson confirmed that the wedding has been cancelled, saying:

"Jessie is not in a position to comment and we would really appreciate if she could be given some space at this difficult time."
