Anatomy Of A Scandal viewers are realising where they recognise the ‘creepy’ girl from.
The new Netflix series is based on a book of the same name by Sarah Vaughan and is about the scandalous nature of Britain’s political system.
People have already binge-watched their way through all six episodes and the huge twist has got them hooked.

The show stars Rupert Friend as James Whitehouse, a Conservative MP whose affair with a researcher is making headlines.
Alongside Friend, the star-studded cast includes Sienna Miller as Sophie Whitehouse, Naomi Scott as Olivia Lytton and Michelle Dockery as Kate Woodcroft, to name a few.
However, viewers have recalled that 11-year-old actor, Amelie Bea Smith, previously played the eerie role as the creepy 'perfectly splendid' girl from The Haunting of Bly Manor.
Smith played the part so well that viewers still remember her frightening performance.
