US teen Bobbie Beale has been inundated with tweets from EastEnders fans
Bobbie Beale, a teenage beautician, was inundated with soap fans asking her why she had 'killed her sister'.
Unbeknown to Bobbie, it was just minutes after UK soap EastEnders had announced 11-year-old Bobby murdered Lucy Beale in cold blood.
I was definitely confused
Despite spelling their names differently, it seems fans were intent on messaging the American girl about the EastEnders storyline.
Tweeting some of the fans back, Bobbie seemed incredibly confused by the messages asking who they were.
She said: "Why are 3 people from Scotland that I don't know, tweeting me about killing someone named Lucy…"
Speaking to Buzzfeed, she said: "I was definitely confused.

The beautician teenager had no idea why people were tweeting her
"I saw the BBC tweet it, and then I realised. I looked up the show and I thought, Oh, this makes sense now, but at first I was really confused because I thought it was a real-life thing and I thought Bobby Beale killed someone and I was like, 'It's not me.'"
Bobbi took control of the situation and posted a picture of herself on Twitter saying: "#IdidntKillLucy."
She added: "Making the best out of the situation by posting a selfie."
She's now an overnight internet sensation with many tweeting messages of congratulations to her Twitter account.
There's one more live episode of EastEnders to watch this evening, which will show fans how Lucy's body was moved from her home to where she was found dead.
