Vardy lookalike from Leicester in new TV series
A Leicester man, who found fame as a Jamie Vardy lookalike during Leicester City's Premier League title win, is appearing in a new BBC series.
Lee Chapman was pulled on to the team's coach as Leicester City celebrated their historic win in May 2016. Now he's featured in 'Dear England' that tells the story of Gareth Southgate's time as England manager - trying to rid the team of its penalty-shootout anxiety, and "years of hurt" on the global stage.
It stars Joseph Fiennes as Gareth Southgate, and Jodie Whittaker as Pippa Grange, the psychologist brought in to help change the players' mindset.
Lee spoke to BBC Leicester's Ady Dayman.
