The 51-year-old actress - who is best known for having starred as Kat Slater on the BBC soap opera 'Eastenders' since 2000 - started dating Justin Gallwey, 50, last year and the pair is reportedly set to tie the knot.

In a picture obtained by The Sun on Sunday newspaper, Jessie is seen sporting a gold ring on her engagement finger as she exits a garage carrying a bottle of wine.

The star is yet to speak publicly on the supposed engagement herself but Justin - who is thought to have met Jessie when they were teenagers - previously hinted that an engagement could be on the cards when the actress was seen modelling costume jewellery on her social media.

He commented: "See I told you you would have a ring on that finger by the end of the year!"

Just last year, Jessie was issued a "clear warning" by 'EastEnders' bosses after she was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and drunk and disorderly conduct and shortly after, Justin spoke out in support of his significant other as he insisted everything was "good" between them.

He said: "'I have made my apologies and so has Jessie. I just want to protect her. Everything is happy and things are good! Our relationship is fine. We are very close."

Following the alleged incident, Jessie - who sparked rumours she may have already tied the knot with Justin when she casually referred to him as "My hubby" on Instagram but later dismissed the rumours - is said to have expressed "deep regret" over her actions and is aware that her behaviour was "unacceptable."
