EastEnders star Jessie Wallace has sent out a warning to her fans to help them avoid a phone scam.

The 48-year-old, who plays Kat Slater in the popular BBC One soap set in Albert Square, took to her official Instagram account to share the warning with her 64,600 followers.

Sharing a snap of a young Frankie Howerd holding his two fingers up, she used the caption to write out her message.

Jessie wrote: “If you receive a call/message from this number 01205 616172 ignore it!

“It’s a scam! Don’t give them any information!”

Her fans rushed to the comment section to thank the actress for the heads up.

A second said: “Cheers. I’ll share this.”

Other fans claimed the same number has called them before.

“Have had this number phone a few times it comes up as a scam on my phone so blocked and deleted,” said one.

Another claimed: “Same number rang me Jess!”

It comes after Jessie shared a snap updating her fans on how lockdown life looks for her after the BBC suspended filming of the soap amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Posing up a storm in what appeared to be her back garden, the stunner beamed from ear-to-ear as she donned a graphic T-shirt.

Paired with a leopard print headband, red sunglasses and black crochet shorts, Jessie looked sensational.

In typical Kat Slater fashion, she paired the leopard print with a bright red lip.
