Jessie Wallace says Eastenders was the cure

Jessie Wallace was delighted to announce that the many years of migraine-strong headaches, that had plagued her, disappeared when she arrived to play Kat Slater in EastEnders.

"It was like some sort of miracle," said Jessie. "It was like EastEnders was the perfect tonic - they vanished overnight."

Wonder if the headaches came back after a certain Sunday newspaper devoted a double-page spread to Jessie's comings and goings outside an Essex pub, a couple of weekends ago?

Chances are they did.
