Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor once had a very different role in the world of TV, and people have been left shocked after realising where they’ve seen her before

Every now and then, we come across a new piece of trivia that leaves us gobsmacked.
This time, it’s about the cast of Netflix’s hit series Bridgerton, and one particular revelation left fans in shock. TikTok users have been sharing their discoveries about where they’ve seen the Bridgerton cast before, and one TV throwback is causing quite a stir.
Phoebe Dynevor, who plays Daphne Bridgerton, was once a star of Waterloo Road, much to the surprise of many. Whether they didn’t watch the show, or simply forgot she was part of the popular drama, the news left many utterly baffled.

You might not remember, but Phoebe actually started her career as a child actress in the BBC One school drama, appearing on the show between 2009 and 2010. After her debut, she secured roles in the BBC series Prisoners’ Wives (2012-2013) and Dickensian (2015-2016).
Some might also recall her from her main role in Crackle crime series Snatch (2017-2018). In short, there are several reasons why she might seem familiar.
During her stint on Waterloo Road, she portrayed Siobhan Mailey in the fifth series of the drama. It may feel like a lifetime ago, but it’s a show that many cherish memories of watching.
Since old clips surfaced online of a young Phoebe, fans have been astounded by how far the actress has come.
One thrilled viewer gushed: “Oh my God – what?” Another added: “The duke was in Waterloo Road too. I’ve found this hilarious since.”
A third fan noticed that “Daphne looks very different.” Meanwhile, another simply asked: “Wait what?”

While our beloved Phoebe might be absent from the latest season of Bridgerton, there’s always a chance for her character to make a stunning return. In the meantime, she’s got a pretty packed schedule filled with exciting projects.
She’s heading for the silver screen starring in the forthcoming Sony Pictures thriller movie “I Heart Murder”, under the direction of Matt Spicer. Plus, she’s wearing both the hats of an executive producer and actor for an adaptation of Jonathan Stroud’s superb “The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne”.
Phoebe is also working on an Amazon Prime adaption of Naoise Dolan’s “Exciting Times”, where she’s set to play a role. So, it seems like fans won’t have to wait too long to see more exceptional performances from her.
