EastEnders alum Cheryl Fergison shared a rare photo of her lookalike brother earlier, with the former soap actor thanking her younger sibling for supporting her.
The 56-year-old - best known for playing Heather Trott on the BBC soap between 2007 and 2012 - opened up about their relationship in a post on Instagram this afternoon.
She shared a photo of herself and brother Graeme with her 24,000 followers on the platform, telling them that he and two other siblings had come into her life only a decade ago.
Alongside the photo, she wrote: "So my brother is coming up for a visit today. We are like two peas in a pod. There is always laughs and fun times when we get together."
The actor then explained that the siblings had connected in around 2011, with her saying that the story of how they found each other is "amazing" and "emotional."
She commented: "Our story of how we found each other is simply amazing, emotional and one you couldn't even write in a soap. 11 years ago Graeme and two other siblings came into mine and our family's life."
Cheryl concluded the recent post on social media by writing: "Since then even when times are tough, we are there for each other. Thank you little bro for being there."

A number of fans responded with many expressing hope that the family would have a lovely time together this week.
One person wrote in the comments section: "Have a lovely time together. Nothing better than time with family." Whilst another said: "These moments are so precious."
Others noted that the pair looked alike, with one writing: "You certainly look like each other. You both have that lovely smile." Another fan agreed that they had the "same smile."
The post about her brother comes after Cheryl shared another family photo with fans on social media earlier this month - which similarly prompted well-wishes from fans.
She posted a selfie of herself and her son Alex Saddiqi, 22, which showed them enjoying Christmas festivities together at Leicester Square in London during a recent visit.
Cheryl has also been promoting the upcoming BBC series Dodger - inspired by the novel Oliver Twist - on her social media. She's set to appear in an episode of the show, which airs February 6.
