Josie Gibson and Dermot O’Leary had to double check who was sat on their This Morning sofa on Wednesday, as the stars of The Great British Bake Off Musical, really did resemble Paul Hollywood and Dame Prue Leith.
The popular Channel 4 baking competition has now taken to the stage, with Les Miserables star John Owen Jones playing judge Phil Hollinghurst, based on Paul.
And the resemblance is uncanny.
Sat beside Dame Prue’s character of Pam Lee, played by Haydyn Gwynne, he joked about looking ‘nothing like’ Paul.
‘You do,’ Josie insisted, adding: ‘You’ve got a real Paul Hollywood look about you!’

But John joked he was cast on his ‘talent alone’, laughing: ‘The looks came later!’
Viewers at home stunned with the resemblance, with one writing ‘Am I having a fever dream?’
‘Why is Paul Hollywood singing and slapping the fresh hell out of that dough,’ another joked.
Others however, weren’t so convinced, with one writing: ‘He looks exactly like Paul Hollywood… in dimmed lighting, if you squint from 30 foot away.’
Meanwhile, after the musical stars performed on the ITV programme, viewers were left in hysterics over the name of the hit: Slap It Like That.

‘”Slap it like that!” … isn’t a song I expected to see on This Morning,’ one viewer commented.
The Great British Bake Off Musical – with book and lyrics by Jake Brunger and music and lyrics by Pippa Cleary – is going to be commencing from February 2023, with tickets going on sale later this month.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
