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?

Kerry in Emmerdale wore an M&S fleece that I bought specifically to throw on over nicer clothes if I was cooking or eating something messy.

And not clothes, but there's a type of bed that I see constantly on TV and films that we had in our last house. It's a running joke now, "Oh, there's our bed again!"

Liz Truss got a load of her dresses from the same place I bought my work dresses. That was a rough few weeks, let me tell you.

OMG that is way worse than Jean Slater wearing my cardigan!!!!

When I met DH he had the wallpaper as Rita on Coronation Street. Soon fixed that!

Our last house had the same bamboo flock wallpaper that Del Boy used to have in his flat and was often seen in 1980s curry houses.

I got what I thought was a lovely blouse from Top Shop, but before I had a chance to wear it I saw Kat Slater wearing the exact same one in Eastenders and it completely put me off! It's been a few years now and it's still hanging in my wardrobe unworn.

Maybe it's long enough ago I could try it now.

When Eastenders first started Angie wore a black and white striped blouse with a pussy cat bow that I had bought that afternoon. A few weeks later Pauline Fowler wore one of mine and then one of the Birds of a Feather girls had another one. All m and s
We used to play spot the Ikea cushion, it was embroidered with coloured swirls and had some kind of birds on it - every programme on TV seemed to have it so mine went to Charity shop.

OUCH. Now that one is bad, even though there was probably a perfectly innocent and capable stylist behind it all.

I've def seen my clothes on Eastenders! I also remember Villanelle wearing 'my' M&S blazer on Killing Eve, and on another occasion I was wearing a blue blouse and the next day Priti Patel had it on Shock

My dsis bought a lovely red coat in the 90s. A few weeks later Hayley from Coronation Street started to wear the same one & it became very well known!

Eminybob · 04/11/2024 17:30

Back in the early 2000s Zoe Slater from Eastenders and I had the same coat.
It was a pink lovely woollen knee length one from Warehouse (IIRC)

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

Indeed. She was wearing one of my Twisted Wunder dresses in bake off

Carole Kirkwood wore an m and s blouse I owned at the time and it really put me off. Don't know why as I like Carole

Andrea (Andi?) one of the older contestants on MAFS Australia last year wore a SHEIN dress I have at one of the commitment ceremonies 😁

Jane Horrocks had my Dolce & Gabanna ball gown on in a film about a plane crash.

HelenHywater · 04/11/2024 19:07

Sophie Raworth, Victoria Derbyshire and Cathy Newman have the same clothes as I do.

I don't mind dressing like a news reader really.

I did buy a red sequinned trouser suit from Zara after I saw Claudia Winkleman in it once. Unsurprisingly I never wore it.

Janine from EastEnders wore my wedding dress.
