Last updated 15th Apr 2021
There's absolutely no denying the fact that Netflix's Bridgerton and BBC's Line of Duty are two of the biggest shows on TV right now, and whilst bosses have just confirmed a third and fourth series of Bridgerton, fans are on the edge of their seats with the current series of LOD.
But as we all wait in suspense to discover who DCI Joanne Davidson is related to, fans of the two hit shows are discovering a cross-over by one star!
Although she appeared in series four of Line of Duty as Detective Constable Jodie Taylor, an aid to Detective Chief Inspector Ros Huntley, fans of the show are only just discovering that actress Claudia Jessie is also in Bridgerton!
After leaving Line of Duty when series four came to an end in 2017, Claudia landed the role as Eloise Bridgerton, the fifth eldest Bridgerton sibling and second daughter in the period drama.
One person wrote on Twitter, 'I have only just twigged that Eloise Bridgerton is also Jodie from Line of Duty. Yes, that Jodie in Season 4. Well done, Claudia Jessie. #LineOfDuty #Bridgerton'. (sic)
Another wrote, 'Just realised Eloise in #Bridgerton is Jodie in #lineofduty series 4 . #bridgertonnetflix'. (sic)
A third added, 'Watching #Bridgerton and as I listen to Eloise I just realised that the actress whom portrays her Claudia Jessie was DC Jodie Taylor in #LineofDuty she's a talented actress.' (sic)
