Friends fans were delighted after Jennifer Aniston named her ex-husband Brad Pitt as one of her favourite guest stars on the show.

Speaking ahead of the long-awaited Friends reunion (which is set to air on 27 May), the cast were asked during an interview with Access to recall the most memorable cameos on the show.

They had an impressive list to choose from, with guests from Sean Penn and Tom Selleck to Isabella Rossellini having made appearances on the show during its 10-season run.

“You had every A-list star on there. Do you have a favourite or most memorable one?” Access’s Kit Hoover asked Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, and Courteney Cox.

“I was blown away by so many,” said Kudrow.

Aniston described Ben Stiller as “hysterical” and deemed Reese Witherspoon (who played her sister Jill on the show) “brilliant”.

As the cast ran through some of the big-name guests they worked with, Aniston interjected: “And Mr Pitt was wonderful. He was fantastic.”

Her commented prompted some reactions onTwitter, with one fan writing: “OMG. Jennifer Aniston said Brad Pitt was one of her favourite guest stars on Friends,” along with three heart emoji.

The couple were married from 2000-2005. Pitt appeared on Friends in 2001 as a former classmate of Aniston’s character Rachel Green in the season eight episode “The One With the Rumour”.
