Tracy-Ann Oberman has expressed her frustration at being confused with fellow TV star Alex Kingston.

The actress, who is known for her work on EastEnders, Big Train and Doctors, has seemingly been mistaken for Kingston by people on Twitter.

"FFS why oh why am I still being inundated with comments questions etc about River Song (sic)," Oberman said on the social networking site. "Altogether now :: I AM NOT......"

After a number of her followers joked about their physical resemblance, she later quipped: "And now I hear the beauteous Alex is going in to Upstairs Downton...*braces self for Mrs Bridges's fan tweets*"

Oberman appeared as Yvonne Hartman in the two-part Doctor Who series two finale 'Army of Ghosts' and 'Doomsday'.

Asked in 2009 if she could ever return to the show or spinoff Torchwood, Oberman told Digital Spy: "Well you never know… Anything's possible in those parallel universes.

"Yvonne Hartman was head of Torchwood London and those two episodes introduced that show. Maybe one day they could do a flashback sequence as to how Torchwood came about."
