'EastEnders' star Katie Jarvis arrested after a drunken street fight with 5 women

EastEnders actress, Katie Jarvis, was among a group of women being filmed in afight outside of the Papillon Bar on Friday evening.

Katie and her entourage had started arguing with another woman and her group which quickly escalated into violence when Katie tried to take a chair from the other group's table.

A brawl then spilt out onto the street as what started off as pushing quickly turned to full-on hitting. Among the wreckage of the fight, chairs and tables were turned over and glasses were smashed to the ground.

An onlooker on the scene managed to capture a video of the fight and share it on social media. In the video, Katie can be seen in denim shorts and a black singlet yelling:

f***ing black c***,' and yelling, 'f*** Black Lives Matter!

In a second video, racially charged comments can be heard as Katie calls one of the women a 'dirty black c***' and was swearing at the rest of the group.

The fight eventually lead to Jarvis' arrest on the grounds of a racially aggravated public order offence following the pub brawl.

An Essex police spokesperson released a statement following the arrest:

A 29-year old woman was arrested on Friday 31 July 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.
