EastEnders newcomer Jessica Plummer has slotted right into the action after making her debut in March.

She has joined the cast of the BBC One soap as Chantelle Atkins, the long-lost daughter of Mitch Baker and Karen Taylor, and will appear at the funeral of Bailey's biological mum Dinah.

Jessica, 26 - who was a member of girl band Neon Jungle from 2013 until 2015 - was dressed to impress in a smart suit with designer accessories.

Looking like she meant business, the actress was chatting to her fellow cast members in between takes.

Also attending the funeral were her on-screen parents Karen (Lorraine Stanley) and Mitch (Roger Griffiths), her half-sister Bailey and her brother Keegan Baker (Zach Morris).

It has recently been revealed that Bailey's mother Dinah was terminally ill and plans were put in place for the youngster to go and live with the Taylors.
