EastEnders fans have fallen in love with the show after Albert Square received a fresh lick of paint as Martin Fowler took a cheeky swipe at the new set.
During Monday’s (7 March) instalment of the popular BBC One soap, viewers couldn’t help but notice the TV transformation as bosses opened the show with an aerial shot of Watford.
The camera panned down to Martin and Sharon Watts as they left the house while the blonde belle asked his opinion of her new coat.
But the cheeky chap couldn’t help poke fun at her outfit as she walked out in a new coat which looked strikingly similar to the old one.

She proudly asked: “So Martin, you like?” to which he responded: “Well it looks just the same as the old one.”
As they walked down the street together she snapped back: “Oi! This is good quality … and last years.”
He joked: “At least it doesn’t have that funny smell any more” as he ran down the street before she could shout at him again.
