Jessie, best known for her role as feisty Kat Moon in the hit soap, filmed her scene s in a quiet backstreet, and she looked the part in a Burlesque themed ensemble for what is thought to be a portrayal of English music hall singer Marie Lloyd.

'I was so eager to do it, because it's such a classic piece set in 1959, with music written by Lionel Bart, directed by Terry Johnson who I'm a huge fan of, and a great cast. I just had to do it because I'm so excited,' she told This Morning.
'I love things that are challenging. It's a great role. It's the sort of role that I'm comfortable playing, but (it's) working with a new cast and new director, to push the boundaries.
'You can never stop learning as an actor.'
