On this day in 2024, it was revealed that a beloved Indian restaurant in St Albans had received a surprise visit from EastEnders star Kellie Bright.

Nouvellè Lounge welcomed the actress, best known for her role as Linda Carter in the BBC soap.

This is the third cast member from EastEnders to dine at Nouvellè and their sister restaurant Samrat, with Toby-Alexander Smith, who plays Gray Atkins, and Max Bowden, who starred as Ben Mitchell, also popping by for a meal.

The restaurant's owner said: "It was nice to have her in, it created more of a buzz in the restaurant which made the night more lively."

A post on the Nouvellè Lounge Facebook also read: "Typical weekend at Nouvellè, you never know who you might see."

The owner also confirmed that Bright told him, "It was the best curry I've ever had."

At the time, he also hinted at an upgrade coming to the restaurant soon, adding, "We're hoping to open a new bar area before Christmas, if not, it will be early 2025."
