I won the Danny Dyer lookalike contest - but I know the runner-up was robbed
A man who won a Danny Dyer lookalike contest has revealed that he believes the runner-up was 'robbed'. Mike Street, 51, from Southampton, admitted his defeated rival Richard Gooch, 58, was a 'dead-ringer' for the former Eastenders star. Mike, who is the vice president of an aerospace metals company and a hardcore Danny Dyer fan, put his victory down to channelling the 'spirit of Danny Dyer'. He said of his closest rival: 'He was a two-bit Danny. He didn't have the swagger, which is where apparently I came into my own. It was definitely the persona of Danny that got me through.' Speaking of how he got involved, he added: 'We just went to see all the lookalikes and hoped maybe we would spot the legend himself. 'There was no question of me ever taking part. 'It was only when we were looking and somebody approached me and said "you should enter that my daughter" that my Lucie was like, "you do need to do it, Dad, you need to do it". 'When we got there, I got roped into taking part and eventually won. It was an insane day - a mad, mad day.' Meanwhile, runner-up Mr Gooch, 58, who makes stained glass windows, said he is up for a rematch and 'would like to beat Mike next time'. He vowed to work on his Dyer attitude before a possible future showdown, saying: 'I'll give him his dues - he had the swagger - the Dyer confidence.' According to Mike, it is not the first time that he has been told that he has something of a 'Danny Dyer spirit'. He says his likeness to the actor has caused him to be stopped before at football matches, with fans coming up to him to say: 'B***** hell, you remind me of Danny Dyer!' But he puts that down to his attitude - not his appearance. 'I'd always reply: Nice one geezer - and not think anything more of it!' he said. 'I don't personally think I look like him, all my mates and my wife keep saying that I've got a lot of similarities, but I think it's more about my persona and how I engulf the Danny Dyer image and his personality.' Mike, who says his favourite movie is Dyer's 1999 'Human Traffic', said: 'I've grown up with him. I've watched all his movies. 'They just capture a way of life back in the 90s very similar to my own sort of growing up lifestyle.' The real Danny Dyer was left shocked after discovering Mike was the winner of lookalike competition on Wednesday. A host of tracksuit clad, bearded men flocked to London to take part - however it was Mike from Southampton who came out on top. Despite striking less of a physical resemblance to the EastEnders star, Mike impressed with his outfit choice, sporting a white and maroon Sergio Tacchini jacket, akin to those by the iconic Brit donned in his 2005 movie The Business. The actor, 48, was genuinely shocked to meet the winner as he asked: Did you nick it?' He then joked: 'You have got the same double chin there look'. Surrounded by a host of Dannys, the star joked: 'This is like me ageing through the years.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sky TV (@skytv) He added: 'This is a very surreal for me and I have realised how much I don't look like Danny Dyer anymore.' Speaking to Metro at the event, Mike discussed how he believed it was his swagger that won him the title, saying: 'No one's ever told me I look like Danny Dyer, but I've lived a similar sort of childhood — working-class.' He continued: 'I'm obviously very good-looking, very charismatic, and a geezer.' Mike also admitted: 'I didn't expect to win in the slightest.' Mike pipped Richard to first place, despite Richard being the former EastEnders star's official lookalike. He is actually signed to an agency thanks to his striking resemblance to the man himself. Rocking Danny's brown beard and slicked back hair, the similarities between him and the actor, now 47, were nothing short of uncanny, yet he didn't quite bag the prize. He added: 'This is a very surreal for me and I have realised how much I don't look like Danny Dyer anymore' Mike pipped Richard (pictured L) to first place, despite Richard being the former EastEnders star's official lookalike. He is actually signed to an agency thanks to his striking resemblance to the man himself Mike was jubilant in celebration after being crowned the 'Best Danny', and was pictured punching the air in front of the crowds who turned up for the occasion Mike beat off competition from more than 10 potential lookalikes sporting Fila jackets, sunglasses, almost all with their hair slickly combed back with gel - just like the East London icon. The Danny lookalike competition comes amid a growing global trend of celebrity doppelganger contests. An army of budding Harry Styles doubles descended upon on the English capital late last year for a head-to-head. Judged by a mix of notable names and One Direction super fans, competitors were encouraged to dress up in bold outfits inspired by the singer's famously flamboyant wardrobe. The panel of judges included Ryan Lanji, a party planner known for his work on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, and the author of The Book of Harry, Bonnie McLaren. Prizes ranged from £50 for the winner and a selection of hair products for the victor in the 'best hair' category to a six-pack of organic wine for the 'best style'. And even the entrant unfortunate enough to be ranked as the worst Styles lookalike did not leave the event empty-handed, as they claimed a four-pack of cheap beer. Eventually Oscar Jorneaux won the contest, a 22-year-old musician who admitted he entered for 'publicity'. Just weeks earlier New York hosted a similar Timothee Chalamet competition, with fans left in a frenzy when the actor and boyfriend of Kylie Jenner arrived unannounced. Flanked by bodyguards, the actor posed for photographs with his curly-haired doppelgangers - some of whom had dressed as his characters, including Willy Wonka and Dune protagonist Paul Atreides. So impressive were the day's competitors that some fans heaped their attention onto them, mistaking them for Timothee himself.

Danny Dyer impersonators don their finest tracksuits as they take part in lookalike competition with the seal of approval from the man himself - but do YOU think they picked the right winner?
A host of tracksuit clad, bearded blokes flocked to London on Wednesday all vying for the same prize - to be crowned Danny Dyer 's best lookalike. The event was announced by the actor's Mr. Bigstuff co-stars Ryan Sampson and Harriet Webb on the weekend, who asked the country: 'Britain, do you look like Danny Dyer? Do you smoke a lot of fags?' And it seems a fair few 'stubbly blokes', as Ryan described them, thought they fit the bill, with Shoreditch's Hoxton Square full with Danny doppelgangers clad in their best Sergio Tacchini jackets for the competition. One of whom was the former EastEnders star's official lookalike, who is actually signed to an agency thanks to his striking resemblance to the man himself. Rocking Danny's brown beard and slicked back hair, the similarities between him and the actor, now 47, were nothing short of uncanny. But perhaps surprisingly, he was pipped to the prize by another contender. The day's winner was jubilant after being crowned the 'Best Danny', and was pictured celebrating in front of the crowds who turned up for the occasion. Despite looking perhaps less like Danny in the face than his most fierce competition, he was likely victorious for his outfit, with the winner sporting a white and maroon Sergio Tacchini jacket akin to those rocked by the iconic Brit in his 2005 movie The Business. With a crown perched on his head and a ribbon tied around his torso, the day's victor posed for a photo alongside judges Ryan and Harriet and, of course, a cut out of Danny Dyer himself. He beat off competition from more than ten potential lookalikes sporting Fila jackets, sunglasses and almost all with their hair jelled and slickly combed back just like the East London icon, who sadly was not present. This competition had the seal of approval from Danny himself, who took to Instagram to repost a video of a fan claiming they'd be taking the day off work to attend the event. As Ryan and Harriet referenced in their promotion of Wednesday's event, the Danny lookalike competition comes after a growing global trend of celebrity doppelganger contests. An army of budding Harry Styles doubles descended upon on the English capital late last year for instance for a head-to-head.

Lovestruck men mob me on nights out as I look just like Sabrina Carpenter – they buy me so many drinks & beg to date me
A RETAIL worker looks so much like Sabrina Carpenter that starstruck fellas mob her on nights out, demanding selfies and trying to woo her with drinks. Olivia Fano is regularly stopped for selfies by stunned strangers while out and about, believing she's the Please Please Please singer. 5 The 20-year-old admits it's an 'amazing' compliment to be likened to the pint-sized hitmaker, admitting she attracts even more attention on nights out from lustful blokes. The similarity has definitely ramped things up in the dating department, with 5ft 6in Olivia admitting 'a lot more' guys have asked her out in the last year. Olivia first noticed the resemblance, including her hairstyle and make-up, when her sister pointed it out just as the songstress had her big break with Espresso. But Olivia, who is currently single, insists she already rocked the vintage-inspired look before Sabrina burst onto the scene, citing Marilyn Monroe as her style inspiration. Olivia said: "I do see the resemblance, I noticed it two years ago and my sister mentioned it, and I thought 'I kind of do look like her.' "Since then it's been constant, especially over the last year. I've had it in club bathrooms, supermarkets, coffee shops, pretty much everywhere. "People automatically think I did the hair to look like her, I've had this hairstyle for years. I think that's the first thing people notice. "We have quite similar facial features, the eyes, the eyebrows, the nose, and the way I do my make-up. I do a blush lip-liner look. "I do think I resemble her a lot more when I have make-up on, it's just my style. I had a brief obsession with Marilyn Monroe and got into lipstick." "I just started doing heavier make-up and found the lip liner and I've used the same products for two years now. Sabrina Carpenter shows ex Barry Keoghan what he's missing as she goes pantless on the Met Gala red carpet "I probably get it every other day. I get it quite a lot when I'm at work and when I go to Manchester or Liverpool or on a night out, I do get it a lot. "I was at a club in Manchester and this boy really thought I was her. "He kept buying me drinks and was telling everyone so then everyone else started buying me drinks. "I had to give some of the drinks to my friends because it was too much. "When I was in Prague this guy turned around and gasped really loud because he thought I was her. I was in this yellow babydoll dress so it was very her style. "I get a lot of people stop me in the street, just to say 'oh my God'. I do notice people looking at me and then they have to explain themselves. "I've had quite a few people ask me for photos, when I went to Leeds last year I got a lot of photos then. "I don't mind it, it's an amazing compliment." The resemblance to Sabrina has helped increase Olivia's confidence as she is now used to talking to strangers all the time. Olivia said: "When people would look at me on the street I thought 'I have something on my face', but I don't get as anxious anymore because I know people just look at me and think I look like Sabrina Carpenter. "It's the first thing they bring up. It's almost like the perfect pick-up line, because they just come up and say it. "A lot more boys have asked me out in the last year and when I go on dates it's the first thing they say. "I did date a guy and one of the first things he said to me was, 'has anyone told you that you look like Sabrina Carpenter?'." Now Olivia, who has been a huge Sabrina fan since her Disney channel days, said she even answers to the name as so many people call her that. Olivia said: "I'm a massive fan of hers, even since Disney channel. Next time she does a tour I'm definitely going to get tickets. "I'm quite a chatty and bubbly person. I'm usually shy around new people but now that I get so many people coming up to me and talking to me, I'm definitely more confident. "People are automatically nice because they have a compliment to say first thing. I always meet really nice people." "They feel like they know me. People call me Sabrina and I just answer to it now." 5 5 5
