It's the first time the star has been spotted since she was revealed as the Christmas murderer on EastEnders, after teasing viewers for ten months with a flash-forward to a murder

She completed her winter outfit with brown Birkenstocks and a brown leather bag – complete with a Superwoman Lego figure.
The series made history with an episode in February when it announced a flash-forward but kept the identity of the body and killer a secret until Christmas Day.
The soap's cast had been waiting tensely for ten months to see who among the Six London Women would be exposed as the Christmas murderer – and who the victim would be.
So much so that there was even a spin-off show starring the actresses who play the six Walford matriarchs: “The Six – Whodunnit”.
The festive episode came to an explosive conclusion on Christmas Day when Denise Fox (Diane Parish) was seen hitting Nish Panesar (Navin Chowdhry) on the head with a bottle as she tried to protect his wife Suki (Balvinder Sopal) from his abuse protect.
Although Nish initially appeared to be dead, all was not as it seemed.
Shortly afterwards, Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters) stormed into the Queen Victoria pub and saw Nish's body.
He got into an argument with Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) after their wedding was called off when it was revealed he had kidnapped her son Albie.

When Sharon told Keanu she would send him to prison for his attempted kidnapping of Albie if he didn't keep quiet about Nish's alleged death, the groom lunged at her to strangle her.
In a completely unexpected twist, Linda then grabbed a knife and stabbed Keanu in the back to save Sharon's life.
The six Walford women – Stacey Slater, Suki Kaur Panesar, Linda Carter, Sharon Watts, Denise Fox and Kathy Beale – joined forces to hide Keanu's body under the floorboards.
Fans were completely shocked by the unexpected twist as they didn't expect Keanu to be murdered or Nish to be saved by Suki in the final seconds of the episode.
