Katie Jarvis (born 22 June 1991) is an English former actress, known for her roles as Mia Williams in Fish Tank (2009) and Hayley Slater in the BBC One soap opera EastEnders (2018–2019).
In February 2018 she joined the BBC One soap opera EastEnders as Hayley Slater. She left the series in February 2019.
In October 2019 Jarvis declared she had "taken a step back from acting" and begun working as a security guard for B&M. Numerous tabloid newspapers wrote negatively about her working as a security guard, which was met with backlash from many celebrities who believed that the actress was "job shamed" by the press. They showed their support to Jarvis by sharing their "regular" jobs on social media.
In March 2019 it was reported Jarvis was glassed while on a night out. On 31 July 2020 she was arrested in Southend-on-Sea on suspicion of assault and racially-aggravated public disorder. She was later released on bail. Jarvis was ultimately charged with racially aggravated harassment, common assault and two counts of assault by beating. She appeared at magistrates' court on 14 April 2021, entering no pleas and choosing to have a trial at Crown Court. Her representative told the court she intended to plead not guilty to the charges, and that she was the victim of the attack and was acting in self-defence. On 24 May 2021, Jarvis appeared at Crown Court and pleaded not guilty. She was bailed until her trial on 19 April 2022, where she admitted racially aggravated harassment and common assault and was sentenced to a two-year community order, with 200 hours of unpaid work and a requirement to complete 60 days of specified activities.
