Bridgerton fans are just discovering that Nicola Coughlan isn't the only cast member to have also appeared in Derry Girls.

Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson) spots John Paul, who kissed her on the cheek once at a party, being broken up with.

Immediately after his girlfriend leaves, Erin promptly goes over to John Paul, much to the chagrin of her friends, and asks him to attend prom with them.

Viewers of the show will know that he ultimately stands Erin up, and James (Dylan Llewellyn) steps in to take her to prom instead.

Bridgerton fans who noticed the actors appearance in this scene took to Twitter with their discovery.

The son of actors Niamh Cusack and Finbar Lynch, Calam comes from a large acting family that includes The White Queen star Max Irons and Father Brown's Sorcha Cusack.

The actor has discussed his Bridgerton role with Us Weekly, saying that he hopes there is a future for Eloise and Theo: "I think as an actor, you have to back your character. But it didn’t take much of an effort for me to back their relationship because I think they’re perfect for each other."

Bridgerton viewers have been noticing many cast members appearances in earlier TV shows and movies. Just last week some fans rediscovered Jonathan Bailey's appearance in Chewing Gum.
