EastEnders’ Alice Nokes (Courtney Mitchell) has made a surprise cameo in Game Of Thrones episode The Last Of The Starks and our worlds are colliding.
Courtney’s got a second home in Winterfell, clearly.
The 20-year-old actress, who played Grant Mitchell’s (Ross Kemp) daughter back in 2016, had a slightly terrifying exchange with Tormund Giantsbane (Kristofer Hivju) and The Hound (Rory McCann) in the scenes following the Battle Of Winterfell.
In the ep, Alice’s alter-ego Willa told Tormund: ‘You can touch me, I’m not afraid of wildlings.’
He replied: ‘Maybe you should be …’ and started laughing before addressing Ser Sandor Clegane, saying: ‘Well, Clegane, it’s time to down those sorrows …’
Dubbing it her ‘two seconds of fame’, Alice excitedly shared the news with her Twitter followers.
‘Catch me in my 2 seconds of fame on @GameOfThrones episode 4 xxxxx,’ she wrote, sharing a snap of the big moment.
Alice appeared in EastEnders in August 2016 as Courtney returned to Albert Square amid a crisis for her infamous Walford family, popping in to meet Sharon Mitchell (Letitia Dean) in place of her father.
Alice admitted her character is ‘feisty’ and likes to party, but also has a ‘vulnerable’ side to her.
She said at the time: ‘She’s not a mean girl, she’s not malicious. She’s very kind-hearted and very much like her mum, Tiffany.
‘I think she’s vulnerable but in an endearing way. However, Courtney is confident and likes a party!’
Before her 2016 appearance, Courtney was last seen in Albert Square in 2006 when she was portrayed by Megan Jossa, the cousin of Jacqueline Jossa – who plays Lauren Branning in the BBC One soap.
With Courtney grabbing her dad’s hand, and leaving us as emotional wrecks at the pair’s departure to Portugal, we were left thinking they’d never return to the Square again.
Luckily, those Mitchells have a habit of not staying away for long.
