Kat Slated
‘WE all know that one good thing has come out of EastEnders star Jessie Wallaces arrest for drink-driving she may have lost her licence, but she has gained a fiancé.
| The pits |
And not just a fiancé, either, but (after PC Dave Morgan quit Essex police earlier this week) someone to drive her around for the next three years as well.
Unfortunately, she has also gained a reputation for being what the late Alan Clark described as economical with the actualite or a liar, in more common parlance.
The 32-year-old, who plays Kat Slater in the BBC soap, told a court that she had drunk two glasses of wine but her uncle had spiked them with double vodkas.
She was stopped by police on the way home.
I was shocked, she said. I didnt understand. I was upset very upset. I was hysterical. I was really crying. I didnt understand.
I couldnt believe I was over the limit when I thought I had consumed two glasses of wine.
But prosecutor Charles Llewellyn accused her of telling a story about it. You have come to court and lied, he said.
And the judge agreed, saying that she had fallen far short of showing these drinks were laced on that night.
The Star says the actresss career is hanging in the balance after the verdict, although it doesnt explain whether this is because of the conviction or her terrible acting in court.
For our part, we would merely inquire how anyone could not notice that a glass of wine had been spiked with a double vodka.
What type of wine do Jessies uncle and aunt serve up at their home in Hatfield Peveril and remind us never to ask for any…’
