This was Jamie Vardy’s reaction to his Leicester lookalike in his full kit

There's only one Jamie Vardy...

Ben Kenyon

Jamie Vardy was in full-scale party mode after Leicester’s sensational Premier League title win.

The former non-league striker, who led the Foxes into the history books as champions of England, had the squad round his house.

But it didn’t stop there and it looked like the 29-year-old ex-Stocksbridge Steels forward was enjoying life as the team coach pulled up outside the King Power Stadium.

While Leicester fans celebrated outside the ground, camera spotted Lee Chapman – an uncanny Vardy lookalike.

Somehow he ended up  being dragged onto the team bus where the players were having a beer or two.

Foxes fan Lee, who is a postman, told BBC’s Newsbeat: “All of a sudden, the coach pulls up behind me and all the players and staff are banging on the windows, the door opens and Ranieri is dragging me on.

“Ranieri and the other players pushed me to the back where Jamie Vardy was and were all shouting and cheering. They obviously knew who I was. It was crazy.”

This was Vardy’s reaction upon seeing his doppelganger…

It all looked pretty lighthearted as Lee celebrated with his Leicester heroes in his full strip and Vardy-esque arm cast.

“I’ve been on international TV – and I’m just Lee the postman. It’s gone mad,” he says.

“I’m a season ticket holder, born in Leicester, raised in Leicester. This is just amazing.

“Normally I’m just doing my round as quickly as possible so I can get to the ground and sing with the rest of the fans ‘Jamie Vardy’s having a party’.”
