The Eastenders icon, who has been playing iconic character Kat Slater on-and-off for over 25 years, has known her soon-to-be hubby since the pair were teens.
But news of their relationship was only made public in early 2023, when it was announced that the couple were engaged.
Pals said Jessie would be inviting her friends on the BBC soap to the nuptials, including Shane Ritchie who plays her ex-husband Alfie Moon.
Back in 2023, a source said: “Jessie is over-the-moon about her engagement and is starting to put plans in place for her wedding.
“Naturally she will have some of her EastEnders co-stars there, Shane of course.
“It is quite funny that when she ties the knot, Jessie will have Shane there as their characters have walked down the aisle twice.
