EastEnders fans were first introduced to Jada Lennox last year.
The youngster, played by Kelsey Calladine-Smith, arrived in Walford with a huge secret in November 2021.
She built up a relationship with Sharon Watts’ son Dennis Rickman Jr off-camera before his death.
Jada was never able to tell Denny that she was pregnant with his child.
She later gave birth to a little girl, Alyssa, and left the baby on Sharon’s doorstep.
The schoolgirl left a note that read “Alyssa is yours. Please take care of her. I can’t do this anymore”.
After this, Sharon was annoyed at her younger brother, Zack Hudson, assuming it’s his.

Jada later decided to see how Alyssa is doing and noticed Zack drop her teddy.
She later follows them home and leaves it on heir doorstep.
Jada was spotted and chased by Zack and Sharon, where she revealed Dennis is the father.
The young mum has since decided to stay in Walford to be apart of Alyssa’s life.
As Jada’s set to leave Will Mitchell humiliated in upcoming scenes, Daily Star has taken a look into Kelsey’s life away from Walford.

Away from Albert Square, actress Kelsey, 17, looks completely different.
Back in February last year, she posed for glam snaps to celebrate her 16th birthday.
Sporting blonde hair with dark roots, the actress can be seen posing up a storm for the camera surrounded by colourful balloons.
In 2013, she portrayed Young Nala in a London production of the musical The Lion King.

In another glam photograph shared on her Instagram page, Kelsey can be seen modelling a turquoise gown.
She certainly dressed to impress for the black tie event back in October last year at Paddington, London.
The soap star captioned her post: “Kelsey in a cool dress Take 1.”
Before making a name for herself in EastEnders, Jada appeared as a dancer in the movie Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.
She also starred in children’s television series The Worst Witch.

Kelsey looked completely different as she sported a long ponytail as she enjoyed a night out in February this year.
She posed for a series of snaps at the time wearing a cut-out mini dress and a pair of black boot heels.
As well as posing for snaps in the restaurant, she also took some mirror selfie in the bathroom.
EastEnders airs Monday to Friday on BBC at 7.30pm
