Emmerdale fans have spotted newcomer Hazel from rival soap Coronation Street.

The mother of Andrea Tate appeared in the Dales for her daughter's memorial service and certainly left her mark on the latest episode.

Fiery Hazel made an explosive entrance as she confronted Kim Tate and told her she wasn't allowed to attend Andrea's memorial.

But although tension was rising, viewers were quick to point out Andrea previously played Pam Hobsworth in Coroonation Street.

Taking to Twitter, viewers aired their thoughts.

One fan questioned "Why has Pam from #Corrie turned up?

Another said: "Kevin Webster's Stepmother."

"Familiar face," a third said.

Actress Kate Anthony previously played Pam who was the was the wheeler-dealer aunt of Molly Dobbs and fiancée of Bill Webster.

Mostly remembered for her for her money-making scams, Pam helped Molly and mechanic Tyrone Dobbs make it to the altar in 2009 but was disheartened to learn of Molly's affair with Kevin Webster.

After Molly's untimely death in the tram crash, Pam and Bill went travelling together and returned to Coronation Street engaged. However they later separated at some point after 2011, without tying the knot.

Pam's last appearance on Corrie was in May 2012 and she hasn't been seen on the cobbles since.
