This truly is one of the oddest cases of TV lookalikiness (as that is it’s technical term) out there. One is a middle-aged, divorced barmaid in Eastenders and the other is a flamboyant comedian best known for playing Vince Noir in the Mighty Boosh. They might seem to have nothing in common but look closely people, for the resemblances are there if you can open your mind. Note the pointy noses, the penchant for smeared black eye-liner and the shock of spiky hair. Maybe actress Linda Henry and lovable fop Noel Fielding are related. Maybe not. But they definitely do rank as the oddest TV lookalikes out there – unless you can challenge me to an even weirder pair. Please do – I’m all ears (though not literally, that would be silly.)

I sadly cannot claim that this bizarre observation was my own but that of two TV Scoopers (thanks to James and Emily for their contribution.)
