Dragon's Den viewers were left stunned by the uncanny resemblance between entrepreneur Theresa Pope and Carol Vorderman during her appearance on the hit show.
Theresa came to the den to pitch her Milton Keynes business, Dandi London, which offers sweat-absorbent patches and nipple covers.
She was seeking £150,000 for 30 per cent of her business, but unfortunately, all five Dragons were not impressed, citing poor sales figures.

Many viewers were distracted by Theresa's striking likeness to Carol Vorderman, and some even expressed surprise that she struggled with numbers.
However, Theresa remained focused on promoting her product as a solution to "your worst nightmare," offering a natural alternative to harsh deodorants.
The Dandi patch is super thin and designed to stick to the underarm area, absorbing both odour and sweat.
It is priced at £8.99 and is available on Amazon UK and US.
However, despite the product's potential, Theresa's business suffered a net loss of £700,000 over the past six years, a fact that did not go unnoticed by the Dragons.
Theresa explained that the Dandi patch had been in development since 2011 and only went to the market in 2017.
In an effort to diversify, new products, such as unisex nipple covers, have been added to the range.
However, even with these additions, the business has struggled to gain momentum.
Theresa expressed surprise at the difficulty of creating the product and the challenges she has faced, but remains hopeful for the future of Dandi London.
