Derry Girls fans were left stunned last night with another big name cameo appearance, this time in the form former US President Bill Clinton's daughter Chelsea.
The hour-long special episode entitled 'The Agreement' paid tribute to the historic Good Friday Agreement as the curtain came down on an emotional third series of the hit Channel 4 comedy-drama.
Fans were then treated to a post-credit scene set in the present day, featuring Chelsea Clinton in New York, which wrapped up a loose end from series two.

The show previously made reference to the former US president’s trip to Northern Ireland in 1995, with the main characters Clare, Erin, Orla, Michelle and James writing Chelsea a letter but they never received a reply.
In the scene at the end of the final episode last night, a mailman delivers the letter to Chelsea, who is now 42, explaining that it had been intercepted while on its way to the White House in the 1990s.
She reads out the note from the Derry-based teenagers who ask if she would like to “hang out” with them when she arrives in Northern Ireland with her parents, saying: “If they’re anything like our parents, well you’ll be bored out of your tree".
They added that they expected it would be “pretty difficult” for her to meet boys due to being the president’s daughter as they imagined it would “intimidate a lot of fellas” and they offered for her to practise “her moves” on James if she would like.
Speaking about the series and her guest appearance, Clinton said: “Thanks to Lisa McGee’s incredible talent, and that of the wonderful cast and crew of Derry Girls, people around the world have been able to better understand and relate to a hugely significant and important period of history in Northern Ireland and for the world.
“Like many, I am a big fan of the series, and I was honoured to be able to appear in the very special final episode. I hope people enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed being a part of it.”
