Career

Jarvis was seen by a casting agent working for director Andrea Arnold,[1] and was cast in her film Fish Tank, following a successful audition.[2] She played Mia, a troublesome and aggressive 15-year-old girl from an underclass family, passionate about dance.[2][3][4] The film was in the running for the Palme d'Or at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, winning the Jury Prize.[5][6] Jarvis won the British Independent Film Awards for her role.[7]

In February 2018, she joined the BBC soap opera EastEnders as Hayley Slater.[8] She left the series in February 2019.[9][10]

In October 2019, Jarvis admitted that she had taken a "step back from acting" and began 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.[11][12]

Personal life

Jarvis was born in Dagenham, East London.[13] She gave birth to a daughter, Lillie Mae, on 9 May 2009. On 19 April 2011, she gave birth to her son, Alfie.[1][14][15]

In March 2019, it was reported that she was glassed while on a night out.[16] On 31 July 2020, Jarvis was arrested in Southend-on-Sea on suspicion of assault and racially aggravated public order. She was later released on bail.[17]
