Friday Night Dinner fans have spotted a bizarre cameo you may have missed.

The Channel 4 sitcom returned to screens for its sixth run on Friday (March 27), following *that* devastating death in series five.

While fans delighted in the arrival of a new Very Good Boy, Milson, there was also good news in store for Adam (Simon Bird), who revealed he had managed to find himself a girlfriend. But did you recognise her?

Adam's girlfriend – called Lucy – only featured for a few seconds in the episode, via a picture Adam showed his mum on his phone.

And, as some viewers picked up on, the image was a photograph of Rebecca Humphries.

The actress and comedian is known for starring in the likes of Cockroaches and Morgana Robinson's The Agency, and can also be seen in BBC Two's new polyamory drama, Trigonometry.

In 2018, Humphries issued a statement on Twitter following the publication of photos of her then-boyfriend Seann Walsh cheating on her with his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones. She later opened up about their "coercive control" relationship.

We hope this means we can count on Rebecca making an appearance at the Friday Night Dinner table in the not-so-distant future.

And with Jonny (Tom Rosenthal) also revealing he too has a new girlfriend called Lucy, it should certainly make for an interesting dinner party!

Friday Night Dinner continues on Friday (April 3) at 10pm on Channel 4.
