EastEnders actress Linda Henry hurled racial abuse at a community warden after telling her "Do you know who I am? I'm Shirley", a court has heard.
The 55-year-old, who plays Shirley Carter in the soap, is said to have launched the tirade after being reprimanded for dropping a cigarette butt outside a Jamie Oliver restaurant in Greenwich, south London, last September.
Thea Viney, prosecuting, told Bexley Magistrates' Court that a black female warden and her black male colleague approached Henry and her partner after seeing them smoking in Nelson Road.
She added that when the Greenwich Town Council wardens challenged the actress, who has been charged under her married name Valiris, she told them they had no "photographic evidence".
Ms Viney said: "(She) told her that throwing litter was a zero-tolerance offence in Greenwich Borough and the Crown say that Ms Valiris responded by saying 'do you know who I am? I'm Shirley'."
The court heard that, having previously refused to hand over any personal details, Henry gave the warden limited information, including what the officer suspected to be a fake postcode.
Henry is then said to have told her alleged victim: "Who do you think you are? Go away, f*** off, n*****."
Henry denies one count of using threatening or abusive words that were likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, and that the alleged offence was said to have been racially aggravated.
The actress, of Kelvington Road, southeast London, was supported at court by her former EastEnders co-star Cheryl Fergison, who played Heather Trott.
Henry, who has played feisty barmaid Shirley since 2006, is also known for her role as Yvonne Atkins in the drama Bad Girls between 1999 and 2003.
