EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy was at the heart of a hilarious moment on a flight to Glasgow when a fan was oblivious to the fact she was sat just inches away.
The woman, known as Jules, was sitting directly in front of the star on a Ryanair flight on Sunday whilst engrossed in an episode of the London-based soap.
A brief clip shows a fellow passenger filming the actress, 40, as she notices the woman in front is catching up on the latest events in Albert Square.
The clip shows Jules watching a scene from the BBC show on her phone which is positioned on her lap, seemingly too invested to notice she is being filmed.
The camera then pans to the seat behind Jules and Natalie Cassidy comes into view smiling and pointing at the oblivious woman in front.

Jamie Borthwick who plays Jay Brown in the soap was also on the flight alongside his co-star and posed for a picture with Jules who eventually clocked the pair after the plane landed in Glasgow.
The clip of Jules was shared to social media with the caption: ‘This is actually hilarious. I hope she doesn’t clock until they’re all getting off the plane & then shrieks so they give her a hug. We need a part two…
‘Also, I’m nosy & wanna know where NC & JB are flying off to & if it’s for her new project…’
The post quickly received attention from fans of the show gathering 2,100 likes and tens of comments in just a short period.
Fans replied: ‘Omg, well this women is obviously made for a role in EE… I’m surprised Natalie isn’t in row one lol…
‘Gawd imagine being long haul with Sonia stuck behind you… If she doesn’t ask the question ‘What happens to s=Sonia in the end?’ Is she really a true fan.’
The hilarious moment comes after Natalie had the perfect response when a cruel troll attacked her looks in a tweet on Wednesday.

Natalie had the perfect comeback and others commended her for standing up for herself
The actress star had been minding her own business when the person wrote: ‘Such an ugly woman omg.’ She responded saying: ‘Sorry, I don’t go about saying I am a model. I bet you’re an oil painting.’
Defensive fans penned: ‘Ignore them Natalie. Hope you’re well… Yep, notice the lack of a photo of themselves. People are just rude.’
Natalie has more important things to think about at the moment as she has just launched a podcast with Gavin And Stacey star Joanna Page called Off The Telly.
The EastEnders legend – who has played Sonia Fowler on the BBC One soap for over 30 years on-and-off – has teamed up with Joanna, 46, and the two TV stars will discuss what they have been watching on the box.
Natalie is as excited as the British public at the prospect of a new Gavin and Stacey special should it ever happen and thinks she would be perfect for a small role.
But Joanna – who plays the titular Stacey Shipman in the sitcom – won’t even give her a hint that it is happening.
Natalie said: ‘I’m trying to squeeze it out of her. She’s not telling me, she says she doesn’t know anything. Listen, if it happens, if it comes round, I’ll be saying, “I can be in that for five minutes for sure”.’
