Leicester City's title celebrations were momentarily halted as the team's star striker saw a rather strange sight; standing outside the team bus was a mailman named Lee Chapman, who has enjoyed unexpected fame this year for his resemblance to Jamie Vardy.

The two shared a photo (and, by the looks of it, a quick drink) aboard the team bus for an experience Chapman said left him "lost for words":

"I've not slept. I went in for work at 6:30 a.m. and ran my round so I could be here outside the stadium," Chapman told The Guardian. "I’m still supposed to be at work now."
