EastEnders actress cleared of racist abuse 'over cigarette'
EastEnders actress Linda Henry has been cleared of hurling racist abuse at a community warden who fined her for dropping a cigarette outside a Jamie Oliver restaurant, a court heard.
The warden claimed Henry, who plays Shirley Carter in the show, allegedly shouted: "Do you know who I am? I'm Shirley", before saying: "Go away, f*** off, n*****."
The actress had denied using threatening or abusive words that were likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, and that the alleged offence was racially aggravated.
