FESTIVE FEELS EastEnders’ Jessie Wallace heals family feud with sister Danielle as they’re pictured for first time in eight years
EASTENDERS actress Jessie Wallace has finally healed her eight-year family feud with her glamour model half-sister Danielle Mason.
The BBC One soap star beamed in her festive snap with her younger sibling, following a high-profile spat which has spanned almost a decade.
Danielle, 42, and Jessie, 54, share the same mother, but different dads.
Earlier this year, My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Danielle lost her father Ronald Mason, and it appears her sibling was there for her during a bittersweet festive time.
Danielle, who endured another blow in 2025 after splitting from her gardener fiance in May, took to her Instagram grid to upload the happy family snap with the words: “Xmas with family in PJs, slippers & mum, jessie.wallace_official @tallulahlilacw @delilah348340
“First Christmas without my dad, but he’s in our hearts in everything we do.”

Jessie, who plays EastEnders icon Kat Slater, was seen in a taupe silk blouse and matching trousers as she posed in front of a box of Prosecco and in the middle of her daughter Tallulah and mum Annette.
Danielle could be seen on the back of the family snap, with her daughter Delilah, donning a black and white printed blouse with her blonde locks styled into a wavy blow dry.
She flashed a smile at the family reunion while Jessie, who opted for minimal make-up to show off her natural glow, also looked happy to be a part of the celebrations.
The pair were last seen together in 2017, so the image marks a milestone moment for the pair.
Their bad blood is said to have begun when Danielle’s father Ronald was diagnosed with leukaemia.
At the time, Danielle accused Jessie of not keeping up contact during his health battle

She claimed the star only texted her mum twice while he was ill, and Danielle believed they would always have a difficult relationship.
Danielle previously explained: “We are sisters so we just row about sisterly things. We’re like any normal family. We fall out.”
Through the years, there seems to have been an array of issues and obstacles for the siblings.
Talking of one spat in 2019, reality TV star Danielle explained: “We’ve fallen out again. She stitched me up on my birthday, so I got the hump.

THE beloved British soap has been captivating audiences for decades.
“I just got the nark. We fell out.
“We had a massive row and called each other all the names under the sun. It was worse than anything on a soap opera.”
BAD BLOOD
Danielle went on to admit that she can be “horrible” to her famous sibling, adding to the Daily Star Sunday: “She is quite grown up.
“She doesn’t argue back. But I am horrible.”
The situation then escalated as one of Jessie’s mates hit out at Danielle on X, formerly known as Twitter.
