Just watched an episode of Eastenders. A cardigan I bought from Vinted was being worn by.......

Jean Slater!!!!!!!

Also one of my tops earlier this year was worn by Gia Knight on Eastenders. Has this happened to you?

i was watching some obscure stately home program, a historian was wearing the same dress I was wearing. Id got it from a charity shop. Its not a proper make and a really unusual design.

Years ago I had a floaty summer vest top from New Look that Fizz from Coronation Street came on wearing once.

It was- stylish, a bit different, well-made, attractive stores. I never step foot in it now. They sell ugly tat.

Had the worst experience when husband bought a pair of black swimming shorts recently and later discovered he'd stained every towel in the hotel room purple. On top of that they took about 5 days to fully dry despite being in 30 degree sun 24/7.

Oh my god - I was horrified to see Julia from Motherland wearing a sweater I had. She's the worst dressed woman on tv!
To the charity shop it went.
Other than that, Angela Rayner had a similar green jacket to me and I think we both look good in it!

I remember seeing Roxy in Eastenders in the same t-shirt from River Island that I had.

I've seen Willow in Home and Away in the same Superdry hoodie as me too.

Mary on Sherlock wore a near identical wedding dress to mine, from the same designer, about 2 weeks before my wedding. Luckily DH said “isn’t her dress unusual, I really like that!” Grin

About 15 years ago my (I thought) ultra chic black hat turned up on Dot Cotton 😆

We both rocked it

Love it! 😂

Northern Funny Mummy on tiktok (her Happy Valley skits are sublime) has a very rough character who wears my cardigan I bought in asdas last winter.

I think I'll bin it 🤣

Kier Stamer (well not him but his wife Victoria) had on my Me & Em dress for the “arrival” at number 10 - I had it in the wardrobe still with the tags on, loved it but thankfully it was still within the return window - back it went.

Why, though? Did it look awful on, or something?

I thought it was a lovely dress. Victoria looked good in it.

I thought it was a lovely dress. Victoria looked good in it.

I didn’t see it, which is why I was wondering whether @Waystation suddenly thought it looked awful. Or was so distinctive that a dress she’d bought for work was going to be hailed by the entire office as the ‘arriving at Number 10’ dress every time she wore it…?

wotsitallfor · 04/11/2024 11:26

I have a plant pot in a tray I l love, just from ikea and I saw it in a movie.

ElaborateCushion · 04/11/2024 11:28

Not on TV, but when Chris & Rosie Ramsey were touring their podcast, they were sponsored by Stitchfix who provided all their clothes. One show they showed their outfits on Insta and she was wearing a top that I'd been wearing and loved.

Unfortunately for me, she looked absolutely stunning in it and ever since I can't look at myself quite in the same way in it!

Could be, although to be honest, it was lovely but not particularly distinctive.

Quite a few years ago my DH bought me a relatively expensive (£140) coat from Topshop for Xmas. I didn't love it but he was pleased with himself so I did wear it. I then saw either Stacey or Courtney wearing it in Eastenders and I couldn't bring myself to wear it anymore!

When Brookside was on in the 80s.. Gabrielle Glaister who played Patricia ( the posh lady) always wore shoulder pad jackets and she wore about 6 that l had.

Also one of the John Wick films has him visiting a very posh, dimly lit men's bathroom in a luxury hotel. There is a row of nice, expensive-looking mirrors above the marble countertop with fancy washbasins.

Except those mirrors are actually from Ikea and I know because I have one too. Fair play though, it is a classy-looking mirror. Shame they have stopped doing them.

A friend had a colour themed birthday party and I had nothing to wear in that colour so had to do a trawl around the shops. Settled on a blouse that I'd never have bought as a rule, then saw Judy Finnegan wearing it on TV.

No offence to Judy, but we're not of an age or fashion vibe and the blouse went down as a massive waste of money.

SisterAgatha · 04/11/2024 12:55

Alison Hammond wore my dress. I’ve not worn it since. Feels like it’s mainstream now 🤣

BeatrizBoniface · 04/11/2024 12:56

I think Alison Hammond dresses well, she always looks nice.

DreadPirateRobots · 04/11/2024 12:57

Rosie Jones wore a Sugarhill Brighton boiler suit I have on Taskmaster a few weeks ago. I was thrilled. She appears to have several Sugarhill Brighton jumpsuits.

BeatrizBoniface · 04/11/2024 13:00

Is that what it is? I really liked her jumpsuit.

@BeatrizBoniface I don't think her task outfit is SB but she's worn at least 2 in the studio that I recognise - the black one with leopard emblazon (which I have) and the pink one with a parrot.
