Jessie Wallace has teased her EastEnders character Kat Slater's reunion with Alfie Moon next week.

Speaking to What's On TV, the actress revealed that her alter ego will strike Alfie (Shane Richie) next week when he unexpectedly returns from jail to find Kat.

She explained: "She punches him! Alfie has come looking for her and hasn't seen her for months. He keeps saying to her 'You're fat' and she says 'I'm not fat. I'm pregnant!'

"Then she says, 'Don't worry Alfie, it ain't yours'. She's peed off with him. He's been in prison and she's had to survive on her own pregnant. But she loves him unconditionally.

"No matter what they do, they will always end up together. She wants stability... a future for the baby and her. She sets him this challenge and he buys it."
