To soap fans, she's Kat Moon, the mouthy market stall trader who doesn't even get out of bed without bright red lipstick on.
But when the cameras stop rolling, Jessie Wallace is happy to take a more low key approach to daily chores.
The actress was seen partaking in a spot of spring cleaning looking a million miles away from her iconic Eastenders alter ego.
Clean sweep: Jessie Wallace looked tired as she carried a tatty box full during her spring cleaning spree
There
was no sign of the heavy make-up, animal print or tight clothes that
viewers of the BBC 1 soap look forward to seeing her strut around Albert
Square in.
Instead, the 41-year old was wearing baggy black trousers, a worn leather jacket and a plain T-shirt.
Her raven hair was scraped back in a ponytail, and she let her skin breathe by going without make-up, something Kat would only do if there was some sort of extreme drama going on.
Woss going on: Jessie seemed to be having quite the clear out, and carried the heavy box with both hands
Jessie is dating Tim Arnold, who she met at last year's Soap Awards and began dating a month later.
Tim, 37, is the godson of June Brown, who plays Dot Cotton in EastEnders, and the son of actress Polly Perkins - who plays Dot's sister Rose.
Jessie might be pleased that her real life is far removed from that of her colourful on screen character's.
Clear out time: The actress is loved by soap fans for her role as brash Kat Slater BBC1's in EastEnders
Kat's affair with chunky gangster Derek was exposed and she found herself homeless and husbandless.
Booted out from the Queen Victoria, the pub that doubled up as her home, she was forced to move across Albert Square with her son by her husband's cousin.
She had a roof over her head but also the perfect vantage point to see her estranged husband Alfie Moon fall in love with peroxide blonde party girl Roxy Mitchell.
Kat is now trying to reinvent herself as a market stall trader with frenemy Bianca Jackson, after their previous attempt to become cleaners went horribly awry.
