Davina McCall in double trouble

Davina McCall comes face-to-face with Debra Stephenson's version of herself

Davina McCall may have said goodbye to Big Brother but looks to have found her twin sister.

The star came face to face with her doppelganger in an almost identical red frock and heels as she recorded a Channel 4 show to be screened on Friday night.

Davina's lookalike was actually impressionist and actress Debra Stephenson who copied the presenter's toothy laugh to a tee. Debra is well-known for her mimicry of the TV host on BBC One's The Impressions Show.

The pair came together as Davina recorded her Comedy Roast show in which comedy stars tease and celebrate a well-known guest each week.

Debra was on hand to take part in a spoof of Davina's big money show The Million Pound Drop Live, which returns to C4 in a fortnight.

Davina said "You're amazing, you've totally got it" as she met her mirror image.

Jimmy Carr was among those who took part in the show, saying: "Tonight is about affectionately taking the mickey out of Davina McCall. We wouldn't do it unless we loved her - or unless we thought we could get away with it."

Former Big Brother contestants including Nikki Grahame, Brian Belo, Brian Dowling and Sam Pepper also turned up for the show.

Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles mocked her at length for dating guitar guru Eric Clapton while she was in her early 20s. But he added: "You are beautiful, talented, funny and sexy and I feel honoured to call you a great friend and I love you very much."

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Gemini:

You never do anything in moderation. Attend every fun party, accept every juicy offer and try all the delectable treats spread before you. Avoid unpleasant people and activities like the plague. This should be a time of enjoyment. Leave your list of chores at home. You can always attend to these jobs at another time. If you have a chance to show your creative work to a publisher, manager or agent, go ahead. This is also a great opportunity to go on job interviews, auditions and first dates.More
