Orange Is the New Black fans are 'feeling all fuzzy' after two of the show's stars unexpectedly reunited this week.
The smash hit prison drama, which first hit our screens back in 2013, starred a bunch of Hollywood A-listers including the likes of Taylor Schilling, Laura Prepon and Natasha Lyonne.
The seven-season Netflix show, however, also helped launch the careers of a whole host of new stars including Laverne Cox, Samira Wiley, Dascha Polanco, Uzo Aduba and Yael Stone.

Uzo, who played the character Suzanne Warren - who also went by the moniker 'Crazy Eyes' - soon cemented herself as one of the show's fan-favourites alongside Yael who played Lorna Morello.
Now, while the show may have wrapped up six years ago Uzo and Yael have kept their friendship strong despite the fact the latter lives Down Under.
Uzo recently enjoyed a trip to Australia and made sure to visit Yael, sharing two photos of her to Instagram from the exciting cast reunion earlier this week (8 January).
The actress captioned the snap: "And what is a trip to AUS without a visit with my OITNB cast mate and kindred spirit, Yael Stone? I love this woman to the GROUND.
"Respect her art, her passion, her heart. A woman of her word with an unwavering willingness to fight for what she believes in.
"I love you, YaYa. You’re an amazing woman, I feel so lucky to be your friend and can’t believe how much our lives have EXPANDED over the years :). Thanks for making time for us :)."
Yael then lovingly commented: "I didn’t make time my dear friend - as far as I’m concerned time stops when I’m with you.
"Please take that 1000 hr trip again soon because I need more cuddles."
Fans clearly couldn't wait to share their excitement over the surprise reunion with one gushing: "Knowing y'all are still friends is such an amazing feeling as someone who loves OITNB.
"So happy you found lifelong friends in such an incredible project like this show."
A second chirped: "Omg this makes me so happy!"
"This makes my heart happy!!!" echoed a third while another beamed: "This makes me feel all fuzzy inside!"
Some, however, took a minute to work out exactly where they knew Yael from due to her new ginger hair colour which is worlds apart from the pin-up-style dark brown locks she sported on the TV series.
A final Instagram user wrote in one of the most-liked comments on the post: "Hair colour completely threw me off..I had to Google her. She was fab in OITNB!"
Did you recognise her?
