Soap fans have spotted a HILARIOUS accidental crossover between EastEnders and Emmerdale

On Tuesday night's episode EastEnders viewers waved goodbye to Michelle Fowler but fans noticed a hilarious gaffe after she announced she'll be visiting her children Vicky and Mark Fowler Jnr.

It all kicked off shortly after Hunter Owen told his mum Mel that Michelle tried to kiss him! In reality, he was getting it on with Louise Mitchell.

Michelle's past with Preston Cooper came back to haunt her and everyone doubted her innocence. She then decided it's best to leave Walford to visit her kids and "go travelling for a bit" so she's no longer reminded of her past.

It was an emotional conversation between Sharon Mitchell and her BFF Michelle but lots of fans noticed a major gaffe - her son Mark Fowler Jnr is actually in Emmerdale!

Yup.

Well, kind of.

Actor Ned Porteous, who played Mark for a short stint, is currently playing Joseph Tate in Emmerdale.

Viewers couldn't help but joke that Michelle's going off to the Dales to visit her son and stay at Home Farm, with one person writing: "Michelle's going to see Mark and Vicki , I guess she will be staying at Home Farm and popping to the Woolpack for a pint #EastEnders #emmerdale (by the way Mark her son is played by the actor Joe Tate)"

Someone else said: "Michelle only needs to nip up north to see Mark seeing as he's in #emmerdale now... Would have loved to see more of the Michelle/Grant/Mark storyline #EastEnders"

Another commented: "#Eastenders Jenna Russell's exit storyline is absolutely atrocious - Michelle's gonna pop up to Yorkshire to see Mark in Emmerdale and then go back to Australia to see Vicky who she supposedly last saw 3 months ago."

A fourth joked: "Michelle, Mark has changed his name to Joseph and is doing quite well in the Dales 😉 @bbceastenders @NedPorteous @emmerdale #EastEnders #emmerdale"

One more questioned: "Is Michelle & Lisa going away together 🤔 #EastEnders #Emmerdale"

It looks like EastEnders fans were wrong about Michelle's exit, they thought she'd have an affair with Hunter!
