Netflix viewers are only just realising where they recognise Eloise Bridgerton from

The internet hasn't shut up about Bridgerton since the third season finally hit our screens last week (16 May).

Now, the latest instalment in the series centres mostly around friends-to-lovers Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, played by Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan.

However, it's clear many Netflix viewers were thrilled to once again be reunited with the entire cast of fellow familiar faces.

However, many Bridgerton fans are only just realising where they recognise Eloise from - and it's miles away from the beloved Regency-era drama.

Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise, also played DC Jodie Taylor in BBC's Line of Duty.

DC Jodie Taylor worked alongside DCI Roz Huntley (played by Thandiwe Newton) who was the main target of AC-12's investigation into bent coppers.

Fans of Line of Duty will remember that DC Jodie Taylor was completely invested with DCI Roz Huntley.

She would often break the rules and protocol to protect her boss. Unlike her beloved character Eloise Bridgerton, many viewers thought DC Jodie was less favourable.

Claudia only played DC Jodie Taylor for one series back when series four aired in 2017.

And that's not the only Bridgerton character who has stunned fans after they releasing they appeared elsewhere beforehand.

Netflix viewers only just clocked that Ruth Gemmell AKA the Mrs Violet Bridgerton, mum of Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and Hyacinth has already played another famous mother before.

Yep, in case you didn't recognise her immediately, Ruth once appeared as none other than Tracy Beaker's mum.

Fans pointed out Ruth's past acting gig in Tracy Beaker's The Movie Of Me on X, joking that the fictional orphan would feel vindicated that her mum actually was an actress, as she often claimed.

"The fact that Tracy Beaker's mum is in Bridgerton. She really was a famous actress after all, I knew Tracy wasn't lying," one wrote, sharing side-by-side shots of Ruth as violet and as Tracy's mum, Carly.

"I was waiting for someone else to notice this. The yelp I let out when I saw her face on my screen," another replied.

A third chipped in: "I was trying to think for so long what she has been in! Glad I'm not the only guilty one who used to watch Tracy Beaker."

"Hilarious, the contrast in the shows mentioned makes it funnier," as a fellow Tracy Beaker fan quipped.

Talk about range - eh?
