Jessie Wallace: EastEnders’ Kat Slater slammed after ‘insensitive’ coronavirus picture – Express
Jessie Wallace, 48, was all ready for her night out on the town, but after she posted a selfie on Twitter and Instagram, fans called the actress out for being “insensitive” as she posed with a packet of Dettol wipes. The soap actress was slammed in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
Jessie swapped her handbag with a packet of Dettol wipes and shared her new look to combat the deadly virus, with the caption: “Clutch bag for the evening.”
Soon after the EastEnders star posted her bold statement, the comments she received were mainly joking along with her, but some called her out for taking it too far.
One who completely disagreed with the star’s joke commented: “There’s people that are dying left, right and centre all across the world and you’re here looking for likes.
“You should be ashamed,” they continued.

He reassured his Instagram followers as he wrote: “I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine.
“But, I appreciate it and everybody just stay safe out there. Much love,” Chet continued.
