A former EastEnders actress has admitted to common assault and racially aggravated harassment.

After an incident in Essex, a former EastEnders actress admitted to racially aggravated harassment and common assault.

Katie Jarvis, 30, who played Hayley Slater in the soap from 2018 to 2019, was arrested on July 31, 2020, in Southend-on-Sea.

Jarvis, of Rainham, east London, initially denied the two charges but later changed her pleas at Basildon Crown Court.

On Wednesday, she will be sentenced in front of Judge Samantha Leigh.

Katie Jarvis, an ex-Eastenders actress, has pleaded guilty to racially aggravated harassment and common assault.

The 30-year-old actress, who played Hayley Slater in the BBC One soap from 2018 to 2019, initially pleaded not guilty to the charges, but changed her plea on the day her trial was set to begin at Basildon Crown Court.

The court heard Jarvis used "threatening, abusive words or behavior" to a number of people in Southend-on-Sea on July 31, 2020, "with the intent to cause harassment, alarm, or distress."

She was also accused of assaulting a man who worked at a bar on the same day.

Prosecutor Cyrus Shroff stated that the victim "was in a position to allow a child to use the toilet in the bar," and Jarvis admits to "spitting at the ground but not in his direction."

During the incident, Jarvis had previously pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault by beating. These issues were not addressed during today's hearing, and Jarvis will be sentenced tomorrow for racially aggravated harassment and common assault.

Other roles for the actress include the lead role of Mia Williams in the 2009 drama Fish Tank.

Fish Tank won the Jury Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, and Jarvis was named the British Independent Film Awards' Most Promising Newcomer for her performance.

Before the case was heard, the former soap star was seen on the phone outside Basildon Crown Court.

Jarvis, who was dressed in a black and white patterned shirt, hoop earrings, and a black scarf for her court appearance, held a black bag on her arms as she spoke into her phone.

As she was pictured outside court on Tuesday, she pulled the black scarf over her face at one point to conceal her face.

After leaving the BBC One soap in 2019, the actress was revealed to be working as a security guard at B&M in Romford.

Jarvis later told Grazia magazine that she was made to feel ashamed of having a normal job.

"It's the nature of being an actor; gigs come and go, and after my contract with EastEnders ended in February, I found a new job as soon as I could," she explained at the time.

"Doing work like this also helps to keep me grounded."

Samsung Galaxy M53 5G

Nice looking, with a great screen and enough specs to do a day's work. Not long ago, we saw an A53 5G on these pages. Samsung has taken to using the same naming conventions across its A and M series, so we now have an M53 5G right on cue. The M series is typically less expensive than the A series; it's for those looking for a good Samsung phone without breaking the bank, though Samsung aims for "Gen Z." The M53 5G is designed in the same manner as many other Samsung phones. It's flat with slightly curved corners, thin, and light. The back is a stylized polycarbonate that looks nice, especially in the olive green tone I received for review. It catches the light and bounces it back at you. The camera square is prominent, as it always is, and there's nothing else to distract from the back except the Samsung logo. The fingerprint sensor is located on the power button and functions properly. The 3.5mm jack does not return on this device. However, it does have a mic...

Celtics vs. Nets: Jayson Tatum and an all-star defense have distinguished Boston as the team to beat in the East.

With a 109-103 victory in Game 3 of their first-round series on Saturday, the Boston Celtics effectively ended the Brooklyn Nets' season. No team in NBA history has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series, and that is the situation the Nets are now in. This one is over, and I'm not sure I've ever witnessed a more impressive first-round performance. Without a doubt, the Nets are a flawed team. However, this is about as difficult a first-round matchup as a 2-seed will ever face. We're talking about a fully healthy Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving who can't find an inch of space against this Celtics defense. Durant only attempted 11 shots on Saturday and is shooting 36% with 17 turnovers in the series. Jayson Tatum is suffocating his space in isolation, and if Durant tries to put the ball on the floor, there's a second, if not two, defender collapsing on him to deflect passes or force him to stop in his tracks, pivot all over, and look for a bailout. To be...

Severance's strange computers and claustrophobic hallways

Severance's strange computers and claustrophobic hallways The computers in Lumon's vast underground office, the megacorporation at the heart of Apple TV Plus' thriller Severance, are downright bizarre. They appear to be an old Mac at first glance, but the closer you look, the stranger they become. The CRT display functions as a touchscreen in some ways. The gorgeous blue keyboard is accompanied by a massive trackball. The goal, according to production designer Jeremy Hindle, was to create a device that doesn't make much sense, mirroring the purgatory-like world that exists only within Lumon's basement. "The idea was that anything you could see underground didn't exist anywhere up top," Hindle explains. "You'll never see that computer or keyboard again." This article contains minor Severance spoilers. Severance is set in a world where a new procedure — the titular severance — allows workers to split their lives in half after undergoing mi...
