Leicester fans may have expected to be seeing double after heavy Premier League title celebrations on Monday evening, but pictures of Jamie Vardy alongside an uncanny lookalike have added more magic to the Foxes' fairytale season.

Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with London rivals Tottenham secured the Foxes’ first ever top-flight league championship in their 132-year history.

A number of Leicester stars including Christian Fuchs and Wes Morgan uploaded videos onto social media of the players' delirious celebrations, and the party continued on Tuesday as the club's players and staff went out for lunch to an Italian restaurant.

As hundreds of Leicester supporters were waiting for their heroes as they got off the team bus, one lucky Foxes fan managed to get onto the bus itself due to his striking resemblance to their top goal-scorer Vardy.

The lookalike is 29-year old Lee Chapman, a postman from Leicester. He has recently appeared on Saturday morning show Soccer AM because of his similarity to the striker.

The England marksman seemed perfectly happy to see his apparent twin, with Leicester's official Twitter account also pointing out the resemblance.

Leicester's success caps one of English football's greatest ever stories, with the Foxes going from 5,000-1 outsiders at the start of the season to winning the title with two matches to spare.

Vardy - who has scored 22 goals in the Premier League this season - is available to play on Saturday against Everton following a two-game ban, and will get to lift the trophy at the King Power Stadium.
