EastEnders fans took to Twitter last night to recognise a cameo in the latest episode of the BBC show involving a recent plot on the BBC show. 

EastEnders viewers spotted that there was a familiar face in the storyline involving Ben Mitchell. 

After Ben seeks guidance from a therapist named Saira after going through hard times, fans spotted that the actor was, in fact, Krissi Bohn, who starred as Jenna in Coronation Street for two years - and appeared in over 150 episodes on the ITV show. 

'It’s Jenna from #Corrie!! #EastEnders,' wrote excitedly one fan after recognising the actor. 

While another said, 'Woohoo! Is that @KrissiBohn (who played Lloyd's daughter, Jenna Kamara on Corrie)! Looking good, Sis!'

While the actor took to Twitter to share her thanks for being part of the EastEnders team and to share how much she enjoyed working on the show. 

She said on the social media platform, 'What a pleasure it was to be a small cog in this massive machine. 

'Thanks for having me @lemfilm and thank you @MaxBowden and @JessieWallaceUK for being so welcoming. You’re all doing incredible work. #EastEnders.'

To which another fan replied 'Yey! Congratulations Krissi! Another little victory dance in the kitchen required! X'

While another wrote, 'Great to see you back on the soap screen! What a powerful scene.'

And a third said. 'There absolutely was one!.'
