EastEnders: Jessica Plummer and Chantelle’s exit
Last month, Jessica’s EastEnders character Chantelle was killed off in a domestic abuse storyline.
After being trapped with her abusive husband Gray during the coronavirus lockdown, the hairdresser made the decision to leave.
However when Gray discovered Chantelle’s plans, he pushed her during an argument.
Chantelle ended up falling onto an upwards facing knife in the dishwasher. But instead of going for help, Gray walked around Albert Square, giving him an alibi.
When he returned, he set up Chantelle’s death to look like an accident before calling for help.

Speaking about leaving the soap, Jessica said on an Instagram post: “On a personal note, I am in absolute bits over leaving the show. I miss even the bits I thought I hated (that dodgy outside toilet near the police station with 20 million spiders).
“All of it has been a dream come true. Without getting speechy, I owe so many people my thanks for believing in me on my journey.”
