Sabrina Carpenter fans are only just realizing she cameod in this iconic Netflix series and can’t believe they missed it

Sabrina Carpenter has lived many lives, from Disney child-star to 'animal communicator' and now, a chart-topping pop singer in her own right.

We can add gaming icon to the list too, after Fortnite dropped a brand new skin in her likeness earlier this month.

Anyway, along her road to stardom, a young Sabrina also took on roles outside the world of Disney.

There's one major Netflix show she cameo'ed in which, it seems, we all completely missed.

Maybe that's because her part was fleeting, or perhaps it was down to the show debuting 12 years ago. But I, for one, am incredibly grateful to that it's been brought to the attention of social media users like myself.

TikTok user @kaleyybuchannan shed light on the unexpected cameo in a recent video.

Showing a clip of Sabrina, now 25, in the popular TV series, Kayley wrote: "Doing my annual Orange is the New Black rewatch when I come across young Sabrina Carpenter bullying a young Alex Vause," she wrote, adding: "Idk how I didn't remember this, it sent me."

That's right, Sabrina appeared in the ninth episode of the crime drama's debut season back in 2013 - making her around 13 or 14 years old at the time of filming.

Sabrina features in a flashback scene during the episode, titled F***sgiving.

She plays bratty Jessica Wedge, Alex Vause's high school bully, who rips into her fashion sense and 'poor' way of living.

Her brutal jibes include: "Those shoes are bobos" and: "You dress like a bum." Ouch.

Kayley's TikTok video has since been viewed more than 400,000 times, with dozens of other fans also not making the connection until now.

"OMG I NEVER NOTICED THIS," one fan exclaimed, as a second quipped: "That’s that mean Espresso," referring to Sabrina's coffee-themed hit single.

"Why am I just now realizing after four rewatches of this that that is Sabrina Carpenter?" a third asked, as a fourth shared: "Watched this episode yesterday and I cackled! Completely forgot she started as an actor."

Another admitted: "She was so good at playing bullies it made it hard for me to like her when her album blew up" as one fan reckoned: "She’s so good at being a mean girl."

Orange is the New Black ran for seven seasons in total, between 2013 and 2019. That means six more seasons followed Sabrina's cameo - and the show ended six years ago, which I still can't believe.

I guess we can be forgiven for only just finding out about this one, right?

All nine seasons of Orange is the New Black are available to stream now on Netflix.
