FORMER EastEnders star Katie Jarvis is to face court charged with assault and racially-aggravated harassment after an alleged drunken brawl.

Jarvis, 29, — who played Hayley Slater — was seen on video apparently in a row with a group of other women outside a bar.

At the time, witnesses said a woman got called a “f****** black c***”.

The alleged fracas happened last July while Katie was with pals in Southend, Essex.

It spilled out into the street and footage showed drinks being thrown.

Jarvis, of Rainham, Essex, faces two assault raps and charges of racially-aggravated harassment and using threatening words or behaviour.

She is due before JPs in Southend in April.

Katie’s character Hayley was the second cousin of Kat, and had a baby with her husband Alfie.

She quit Albert Square in 2019 and later worked as a security guard at a B&M store.

In 2009 she featured in drama film Fish Tank.
