Brittany Papple who played Louise Mitchell in EastEnders looks COMPLETELY different nowadays

If you've been watching EastEnders for a good few years you'll know that many of the child actors change over time; we've seen Lucy Beale, Lauren Branning Bobby Beale and Ben Mitchell all recast the actors.

Even Phil Mitchell's daughter Louise Mitchell has changed a whopping four times, although you'll most likely remember the actress who played her as a child back in 2010 and 20-year-old Tilly Keeper who's on our screens now.

We haven't seen Brittany Papple, who played Louise eight years ago, in quite a while and nowadays it's clear that's she'll all grown up.
