EastEnders' Natalie Cassidy shares hilarious birthday blunder after turning 40
EastEnders star Natalie Cassidy was left red-faced as she shared a hilarious birthday blunder after turning 4 0.
The soap icon recently celebrated hitting the birthday milestone, but was blindsided when she opened a card from a well-meaning pal.
In a video posted on Instagram, Natalie told her 276,000 followers she had received birthday wishes from her sister-in-law’s friend, but the card read “Happy 50th”, much to the star’s dismay.
“So a lot of you might know I turned 40 at the weekend. It was very very good, I've had an amazing, amazing time with all my nearest and dearest,” she began.

I mean when I opened the Happy 50th [card], I did think, well I don't know what I thought,” Natalie continued, as she held up the card to the camera.

“But it was from my sister-in-law's lovely friend Sal. So Sally, you made it, you made it my best best card of the weekend. And I shall be putting it away and whacking it up in ten years,” Natalie joked.
She quipped: “Mind you. you'll probably send a 60 one then. But yeah, I really appreciated it. You must have thought I looked very, very young for 50 lets be honest. Cheers.”
