To which one soap fan replied: “That was a lovely surprise to see you pop up! Hope you come back, move onto the square with the child and start work in the laundrette!”
Another responded: “Alison she’s never let me watch Eastenders there so you must have some real dirt on her (I’m so excited shall cheer at the screen)”

While a third penned: “I don’t normally watch it. Sat here eating my dinner & saw u & thought “Alison Spittle!” You did a great job on the accent and all. Well done.”
The funnywoman told fans she would be joining the UK soap to play pregnant character Deborah.
Though she confused fans when she revealed her new career move – with many thinking she was announcing her real life pregnancy.
Alison said: “I’ve been keeping this a secret for a while… I’m going to be on Eastenders.
“Edit I’m not pregnant IRL (in real life). I’m pregnant on Eastenders and I was being a goose.
“Thank you, it’s gone too far now, my mammy’s phone is hopping and it’s in the news.
“So to be clear, I’m definitely not pregnant xx”
