EastEnders star Jessie Wallace shows off her intricate back tattoo while getting petrol

EastEnders star Jessie Wallace showed of her intricate back tattoo during an outing on Tuesday.

The Kat Slater actress, 49, wore a black dress that had a plunging back to put her new ink on full display as she headed to her car after topping it up with petrol in North London.

Her tattoo featured a stag, a raven and also a star that sat in the middle of a circle and was surrounded by two crescent moons.

Jessie looked relaxed in her loose-fitting black dress that featured a pleated skirt and she teamed it with a pair of black and pink trainers.

Her cropped raven tresses were pushed back into a sleek, straight style over her ears and she kept a pair of shades perched on top of her head.

The soap star wore a light palette of make-up for the outing and accessorised with a pair of silver hoop earrings.

In May last year, Jessie looked in good spirits as she shared an Instagram snap showing off her Elvis Presley arm tattoo.

The soap star nailed casual chic in the photo, donning a dark grey wolf print T-shirt along with a black printed skirt as she smiled for the camera.

Alongside the snap, the EastEnders veteran wrote: ‘Love @yourallypally’.  

It comes after Jessie was seen speaking to police officers near her London home alongside her daughter Tallulah, 16, back in December.

The screen star had emerged in her slippers to speak to two police officers, who parked their squad car in the middle of a suburban street on 28 December.

She was flanked by Tallulah, who she shares with her policeman ex Dave Morgan, as they engaged in the strained conversation with the law-enforcement officers. 

Jessie and her daughter were similarly-clad in comfortable garb as they spoke to and gesticulated at the police officers, who were pointing at a Range Rover. 

MailOnline contacted police officials and Jessie’s representative for comment at the time.
