She drives him crazy! Jessie Wallace

She has denied being engaged to beau Tim Arnold but by the looks of it things couldn't be going better for Jessie Wallace and her man.
The pair enjoyed a night out in London that ended in a steamy tryst in the back of the taxi on the way home.
Jessie and the musician were seen smooching as they sat in the car and seem totally smitten.

The EastEnders actress was still wearing the huge rock on her engagement finger, which she has denied is from her boyfriend.

Jessie was dressed in a plunging top for the evening, to watch her boyfriend's band perform at The Lexington.
She teamed the revealing garment with a pair of wide-legged trousers, silver jewellery and a black leather handbag.

The 41-year-old actress, who plays mouthy Kat Moon in EastEnders, has been in a relationship with her Tim for 11 months.
But while things are going well for the couple, Jessie denied reports that she was engaged to the musician, after sparking rumours of a proposal by wearing a ring on her left hand.
Jessie has been dating Tim since May, and the musician has been credited as the man to help the EastEnders star get over her past heartaches.

Those include three engagements: the first to youth worker Tommy O'Neill, father of her daughter Tallulah.
Then she agreed to marry policeman Dave Morgan.
But it was her last engagement, to catering boss Vince Morse, which reportedly left the star heartbroken.
Their wedding was called off with hours to spare after Vince admitted sending an explicit picture of Jessie to his ex.

Oh the irony! Former EastEnders star Sid Owen

He is currently in Los Angeles trying to crack Hollywood and on Wednesday Sid Owen decided to wear a statement T-shirt to attract attention.
The former EastEnders star wore a T-shirt that read 'ACTORS SUCK' as he made his way out and about in Beverly Hills.
Sid, 41, was seen chatting on the phone as he stood outside iconic Los Angeles store Kitson and seemed to want as many people as possible to see his statement shirt.

The former soap star teamed the top with a pair of jeans and wayfarer sunglasses.

Sid has been in America for some time now and despite announcing he was retiring from acting just last year, but it seems that Sid is eager to do whatever it takes to get back in the spotlight.

Speaking about his plans Sid told the Sunday People: ‘I love being in the States and I’ve been having lots of meetings. I’m just enjoying being over here. The weather is great and the people are friendly.

The actor found fame playing Ricky Butcher on EastEnders appearing in the show from 1988 until 2012.
Last year he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing but his fancy footwork failed to impress and he was voted off in week four.

Peter Beale returns

After fleeing Walford back in December 2010, Peter Beale is returning to Albert Square this summer. He'll be reunited with Ian, twin-sister, Lucy and younger brother, Bobby - and looking a little different to how you may remember him...
"I'm really excited to be joining the fantastic cast of EastEnders - a show which my family have watched for years," enthused newcomer Ben Hardy, the new face of Peter. "I can't wait to step into the shoes of a character with so much history and am looking forward to getting stuck in."
Peter Beale So what's Peter been up to since we last saw him? Well, he's been living with his maternal grandmother in Devon after escaping there to live with Lucy and their half-sister, Cindy Junior. Peter continued his A Levels and has been living every teenager’s dream – a life of sun, sea and surf. Very nice!
But Peter’s relationship with Lucy turned sour when he started seeing her best mate, Leanne. Lucy soon called time in Devon and returned to The Square in January 2012. Now the prodigal son is returning to the family fold, grown-up, more confident and an easy match for his twin sister - but just how delighted will she be to see him?
With his sun-kissed good looks, girls can't resist Peter's charms. Luckily for them, Peter finds it hard to say no. Form an orderly queue please ladies!
"Ben's a wonderful addition to the EastEnders cast and I am sure he will be popular with the audience," EastEnders' Executive Producer Lorraine Newman told us. "Having Peter back in the Beale fold helps cement the next generation of the Beale clan, a family who exist at the true heart of the show. Ian's wonderful relationship with Denise and the inclusion of Lucy, Peter and Bobby in the household will reinvigorate the clan with vibrancy and energy. I am really looking forward to seeing them all together on screen."
Look out for the return of Peter Beale to EastEnders this July.

Kim scrubs up well!

Her character is known for her outrageous dress sense and loud mouth.
But EastEnders actress Tameka Empson showed she couldn't be more different from outrageous Kim Fox at a night out at racy play Beautiful Thing.
Tameka, whose character famously has 'more front than Brighton', was presumably at the star studded first night as she starred in the 1996 film of Jonathan Harvey's British play.

The 36-year-old, who is currently playing opinionated B&B owner Kim in the hit BBC soap, won critical acclaim for her hilarious portrayal of Leah Russell in the heartwarming film.
Viewers are used to seeing the actress and comedienne in a variety of bizarre ensembles on the BBC show - including double denim and eye-blinding leopard print.
It was a different story on the red carpet for the glamorous actress as her demure emerald wrap around dress at the Arts Theatre perfectly complimented her figure.

Teamed with a chic tailored jacket the actress looked superb.
The actress, who has starred in EastEnders since 2009, has said her dress sense, especially the shoes, is miles apart from her character.

She said: 'I like good shoes, comfortable shoes. But it all works [for Kim], from the toes right the way up.
'Kim's bolder than myself. She can go on all night - I need a break in between dancing and stuff!
On the Arts Theatre website it bills the production as: 'A glorious urban love story about coming out and coming of age. This comedy exquisitely depicts what it’s like to be sixteen, in the first flush of love, and full of optimism.
Fiery! Tameka plays Denise Fox's half-sister in EastEnders

Looking as lippy as ever! EastEnders actress Kierston Wareing

She found herself at the centre of a Twitter row earlier this month when Michelle Collins suggested she may have had her lips surgically enhanced.
But EastEnders star Kierston Wareing has maintained a stony silence over the allegations, refusing to either confirm or deny the claims.
However, as the young actress was seen arriving at the EastEnders set in north London on Friday, her pout looked as plump as ever.

While the 50-year-old actress declined to elaborate further, many of her followers on Twitter speculated that she was talking about new castmember Kierston, who plays Kirsty Branning.
Michelle tweeted: 'Why do actresses have ridiculous lip jobs done???
'Watched Easties tonight!! Was shocked! Big lips just seem to take over the screen! Too distracting!'
After receiving abuse from some EastEnders fans, accusing her of 'bullying', she replied: 'No bitching please! An observation that’s all! Strange now who’s doing the bullying!!??? No more tweeting for me!'
She went on to explain that she was against cosmetic surgery and was concerned how it could affect young women.
She continued: 'There are young girls of 18 and even younger having cosmetic surgery do you think that's right ?????'
When one Twitter follower mentioned Kierston's Twitter feed, Michelle praised the actress: 'Yes she is a very good actress indeed particularly Fishtank!'
Stormy: Michelle was watching an episode of EastEnders which featured a tense scene between Kierston and Max Branning (Jake Wood) when she made the comment

Michelle then insisted she didn't mean Kierston: 'You all have the wrong end of the stick ! Never even said who it was ! And you are all wrong anyway ! Inane comments in future.
'I do not tolerate bullying !!! If I ve offended then I m sorry people shouldn't make assumptions though.'
Michelle's 17-year-old daughter Maia later took to her mother's Twitter account to defend the Corrie star.
Pleading innocence: Michelle insisted she wasn't talking about Kierston, and praised the 35-year-old actress

Maia wrote: 'Hi yea it's Maia here Michelle's daughter, I would just personally like to ask anyone who is think of writing malicious, hurtful or any other synonyms of 'nasty' comments in the form of tweets to my mum they can direct them to me my account name is @MaiaCollins feel free...
'To send anything thing you want, the ruder the more entertaining, because Michelle is a single mother who works from 7am to 7pm everyday.
'And the tweets are actually making her quite upset and she really doesn't need them at moment.'

When's the new fitness DVD out, then?

Natalie Cassidy will soon be back on screens... when her new fitness DVD is released.
It's a surprising move for the actress, 29, as she recently spoke out about her negative experiences in the murky world of celebrity workouts.
But, according to an insider, she is ready to do it all over again as the new deal allows her to shed the inches 'her way', and not in a way that misled fans and left her feeling very low.

Natalie famously dropped from a size 16 to a size 6 for 2007's Natalie Cassidy's Then & Now Workout.
Her new physique saw her grace the covers of numerous gossip magazines, and at the time, the EastEnders star gushed about how if she could lose the weight then anyone could.

But at home, mum of one Natalie was having to brush off concerns from her close friends and family who worried she was making herself ill with her dedication to keeping the weight off.

Back on her word: Natalie sadi she'd never work on a fitness DVD again, but might have changed her mind
Back on her word: Natalie said she'd never work on a fitness DVD again, but might have changed her mind

She said at the time: 'It was all a bit of a farce. It was all wrong. The wrong way to lose the weight and wrong that the public believed I'd done it the right way. I'd never do it in that way again.

'I was really obsessed, I would spend hours thinking about what I could eat the rest of the day. My world revolved around calories. I would have no breakfast, a tiny bowl of soup for lunch then a tiny salad. And that was it.'
But recently a source told the  that she would soon be making a follow up to her best selling work out.
'Every year Natalie is approached by companies desperate to make a new DVD. Every year she says no.
'But since recently losing weight again, through a healthy diet and exercise, she has decided she wants to share it with others. She was recently offered the chance to do a DVD her own way so she’s agreed.'

Natalie looked exhausted as she left the gym near her Hertfordshire home, which hints that this time she is shedding the pounds with hard exercise instead of extreme calorie counting.
But this time around, Natalie has taken a much more sensible approach to her weight loss, signing up for a minimum of six 60-minute training sessions with her personal trainer Rob Horslen every week.
She wore a grey zip-up top, black leggings and Nike trainers for her training session, which judging by the dark circles under her eyes as she left the gym, was a tough one.

Settling in: Patsy Palmer

Her character in EastEnders has about as much use for a yoga mat as Dot Branning has for a Drum and bass album.
But actress Patsy Palmer shows how she keeps her ultra trim figure as she settles into life near the EastEnders studio.
The mother-of-four has uprooted her family for a move to the Harpenden area, which is just 19 miles away from Elstree, where the hit BBC soap is filmed.

It is the strongest indication yet that Patsy's mouthy hoop-loving character Bianca Jackson is here to stay, after the actress returned from a six month break last year.
And, unsurprisingly, Patsy, 40, is a much snappier dresser than Bianca, who is known for her love of all things pink and Puffa.
Like Bianca, Patsy has four children, but showing she takes her appearance a lot more seriously than her market stall holder character, the star even curled her hair for a casual yoga session.

Bianca returned to our screens after a stint in jail for attacking Conor after her on-screen mother Carol Jackson, played by Lindsay Coulson, admitted having a fling with the youngster and she was jailed again in April 2012 for stealing from the market.
Patsy, who took six months off to spend with her children, said at the time: 'I'm only taking time off now because this is when the kids' holidays are.
'When I re-signed my contract I said, 'I love EastEnders, but I love my kids more'. Listen, I can imagine staying in the show till I'm in my 60s, but it's a full-on job.

'If they hadn't been prepared to give me time off, I'd have had to choose the kids.'
But bosses did choose the flame-haired actress and since returning to the soap in November last year Bianca has been at the centre of some of the most dramatic storylines.
Her character has had to face teenage gangs, opening up a market stall and living in the breadline.

The single mum lost her temper with her wayward son, played by James Forde, when she tried to stop him hanging around with a gang, and ended up slapping him across the face.
Patsy told Inside Soap magazine: 'If I was Bianca in that situation with my kid, I'd feel so much shame, guilt and fear.

'But I think for some parents, that's how you would react if your child's being rude and shouting in your face.

Just a bit of bling: Jessie Wallace

Jessie Wallace was all smiles as she met up with her boyfriend Tim Arnold at Highgate Tube station rocking a large diamond ring on her engagement finger.
But a spokesperson for the actress has reported that she won't be tying the knot with her musician boyfriend - just yet.
Speculation was rife that the soap star's tall dark and handsome lover may have gotten down on one knee but the Jessie has flatly denied she is soon to wed.

The 41-year-old actress, who plays mouthy Kat Moon in EastEnders, has been in a relationship with her beau for 11 months and was seen running into his arms as soon as she saw him, and they walked hand-in-hand down the road without a care in the world.
An EastEnders spokesman denied the star was engaged to MailOnline.
Jessie has been dating Tim since May, and the musician has been credited as the man to help the EastEnders star get over her past heartaches.
Those include three engagements: the first to youth worker Tommy O'Neill, father of her daughter Tallulah.
Then she agreed to marry policeman Dave Morgan.
But it was her last engagement, to catering boss Vince Morse, which reportedly left the star heartbroken.
Their wedding was called off with hours to spare after Vince admitted sending an explicit picture of Jessie to his ex.

Perhaps after dating Tim, 37, her faith has been restored in the institution of marriage.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: 'She had her heart broken into a million pieces and vowed she’d never marry.
'But she’s fallen so in love with Tim that the path is very much clear for her to walk down the aisle. Everyone hopes she’ll wed again. She’s a great girl who deserves happiness, and Tim’s lovely.'

The couple met through Tim's godmother June Brown and mother Polly Perkins, who play Dot Cotton and her sister Rose in EastEnders, at the Soap Awards in April last year.
And certainly, if Jessie and Tim were to walk down the aisle, she would have a sizeable amount of money to work with after winning a high court battle against Reveal magazine at the beginning of March.

The actress accepted an apology and substantial damages from the National Magazine Company after their celebrity magazine falsely suggested she had deliberately snubbed her EastEnders co-star Letitia Dean.
The legal battle centred on an article published in Reveal in August 2012 - called 'Jessie and Letitia at war' - which the publishing company's solicitor, Roddy Chisholm-Batten admitted: 'Wrongly suggested that Ms Wallace had behaved in a highly unprofessional and childish manor by deliberately snubbing fellow actress, Letitia Dean, out of personal jealousy at the popular return of this EastEnders favorite.
[It] has there by created an extremely tense and difficult working environment for the cast and crew working on the programme.'
Not marrying just yet: The ring may just be a symbol of affection, but Jessie may well have gotten over her aversion to marriage, and her past heartaches
