EastEnders actress Natalie Cassidy was left in hysterics after a hilarious birthday blunder from a family friend.
The soap star, who turned 40, was celebrating the major milestone when she opened the mistaken card.
Much to her delight, her sister-in-law’s friend added a whopping 10 years onto her age as the card read ‘Happy 50th.’

She told her 276,000 followers: “I mean when I opened the Happy 50th [card], I did think, well I don’t know what I thought.
“But it was from my sister-in-law’s lovely friend Sal. So Sally, you made it, you made it my best best card of the weekend. And I shall be putting it away and whacking it up in ten years.
“Mind you. you’ll probably send a 60 one then. But yeah, I really appreciated it. You must have thought I looked very, very young for 50 let’s be honest. Cheers.”
Natalie’s followers said they could relate to what had happened and joked that she should save the card until her 50th.
