Former EastEnders star Katie Jarvis has been released from bail, according to reports.
However, it’s claimed the star, who used to play Hayley Slater on the BBC soap, remains under investigation after she was arrested following a drunken street brawl.
The actress, 29, was arrested by Essex Police earlier this month over her alleged involvement in a street fight outside Papillon cafe in Southend-on-Sea, Essex.
A clip from the incident showed five black women scuffling with a white woman, and allegedly Katie called one of them a ‘f***ing black c***,’ and yelled ‘f*** Black Lives Matter.’

Katie was reportedly arrested on suspicion of assault and a racially aggravated public order following the brawl which shocked eyewitnesses.
She was released on bail on August 4, and Essex Police have confirmed that she has now been released under investigation, according to Mail Online.
According to The Sun, Katie was involved in the fight on Friday August 3 in Southend-on-Sea.

One video clip showed five black women scuffling with a white woman, after she allegedly called one of them a ‘f***ing black c***,’ and yelled ‘f*** Black Lives Matter.’
A clip filmed by a bystander saw the group of women brawling in the drinking area outside the Papillon pub on the seafront, before it spilled out onto the street.
A second video seemed to show the white woman, said to be Katie, shouting ‘you dirty black c***s – end of’ and swearing at the group as she was escorted away.

The video, which was reported on by local newspaper The Chelmsford & Mid-Essex Times, was posted to Facebook and has been viewed more than 20,000 times,
An Essex Police spokesman said to Daily Star Online: “A 29-year old woman was arrested on Friday, July 31 just after 10.05pm following reports of a disturbance in Marine Parade, Southend.
“She has been arrested on suspicion of assault and racially aggravated public order. She has been released on bail until Friday, August 21.”
Daily Star Online has contacted Ms Jarvis’ representatives for comment.
Katie was said to have been identified by a witness who said they heard the woman yell ‘I’m a famous actress!’ as her friends chimed in with: ‘She’s Hayley Slater from EastEnders!’
It is thought the row began when Katie took a chair from the table the group of women were sitting at.
