EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer left Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield utterly stunned after revealing that Patsy wasn't actually her real name.
Patsy is set to briefly return to EastEnders as Bianca Jackson for an explosive upcoming storyline.
But appearing on This Morning today, Holly and Phil couldn't believe that Patsy was actually called Julie.
She said that she enjoyed living in Malibu, where she moved after quitting the BBC soap, because she could live anonymously and use her real name - Julie Anne Harris.
"My name's Julie really so I'm going to get back to calling myself my real name," Patsy said. "Sometimes I say Patsy, sometimes I call myself Julie, I confuse myself!"
Holly was shocked, exclaiming: "I didn't know that!"
While Phil said: "You'll always be Bianca to us!"
Patsy spoke about her luxurious Malibu lifestyle.
After quitting the BBC soap, Patsy traded Walford for the Hollywood hills and has since enjoyed the high life.
"I'm so drawn to the ocean," she told Holly and Phil. "I live really right in nature."
But she said: "We're in Malibu now - unfortunately most of it burned. In the area I live a lot of it burnt, lots of my friends lost their homes. Luckily we didn't.
"Our neighbourhood, our closest friends lost their homes. So I guess living somewhere like that you realise how close you are to natural disaster."
Asked about her return to EastEnders, she revealed that she won't be returning to the soap long term because she doesn't want to move her family.
"So when I got the call to come back for a short stint I was like, yeah, yeah!" she replied.
But Patsy admitted that she did miss the soap, saying: "I've always been there, the character's so brilliant."
Yet Patsy said that she now feels that Malibu is her home.
"I love where I live. It's a very down to earth place," she said. "People don't even get dressed!"
