The EastEnders actress, who plays Sonia Fowler, was taken aback following an encounter in the chemist, where a man mistook her for looking 18 years older.

Natalie, 37, was seen wearing a flowery face mask and oversized sunglasses as she explained the incident to her 31.9k Instagram followers.

“He turns to me and goes, ‘Hello darling, are you here for your flu jab?’

“Like do I look over 65?”

Natalie has been busy updating fans on her everyday life since vowing to use Instagram more.
