EastEnders’ Jessica Plummer wows in daring dress as she joins boyfriend Ben Hardy at Bafta event

EASTENDERS' star Jessica Plummer wowed as she joined boyfriend Ben Hardy at a Bafta party last night.

The actress, who played Chantelle Atkins, was a vision in a gaping black dress.

Ben put on a dapper display too, dressed in a satin black suit and showing off his wild crop of blond hair.

They got dolled up for the Bafta Filmmakers Dinner & Party in London, with Jessica, 32, stealing the spotlight in the tight frock.

The Sun first revealed the ex-EastEnders stars were dating when they were spotted sharing a passionate kiss last summer.

They had grown close after hitting it off filming their BBC drama The Girl Before.

The loved-up stars were pictured in a steamy clinch beside a taxi near London's Soho House and two days later they attended the screening for their new series together.

The former soap stars played a couple in the psychological drama - which focuses on two women, Jane and Emma [Jessica], whose stories intertwine as the mysterious truth behind a stunning home built by an enigmatic architect is revealed.

And in the summer Ben and Jessica were spotted together in the summer at singer Jade Bird’s London gig.

Jessica - who played tragic Chantelle Atkins in the soap - and Ben - who played Ian Beale’s son Peter - dropped hints of romance by liking each other’s Instagram pictures. 

Since quitting EastEnders in 2015, Ben has gone on to crack Hollywood.

He's starred in X Men: Apocalypse, Bohemian Rhapsody and Netflix movie 6 Underground with Ryan Reynolds.
