Nigel Farage look-alike transforms into Rag 'n' Bone Man on ITV Starstruck and looks 10 years younger

Starstruck viewers were left stunned by the latest round of superfans being transformed into their idols on the ITV talent contest.

On Saturday night's episode (February 26) a team of three men stepped forward as the gravel-voiced hitmaker Rag 'n' Bone man after receiving a showbiz makeover.

One Rag 'n' Bone Man impersonator, called Richard, had the most remarkable makeover after viewers took to Twitter to say he previously resembled former UKIP and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage.

Judge Jason Manford told him after seeing his introduction clip: "I asked was that Nigel Farage?"

And Richard admitted to Salford comic Jason that people comment on the resemblance all the time.

@craigyboy1977 said on Twitter: "Had to look twice for a second, I thought Nigel Farage was on #Starstruck."

@ZTowning said: "I said the exact same thing as @JasonManford how much does Richard look like Nigel Farage??!!"

And @KyleSew2112 exclaimed: "See, I'm not going mad thinking he's Nigel Farage!"

But Richard says the beardy makeover is staying after being told he now looks 10 years younger.

Sadly Team Rag 'n' Bone Man lost out to Team Tina Turner on the night, but judges agreed Richard and his teammates nailed their performances of the powerhouse hit Human.

Fans flocked to Twitter to discuss.
