Carol Vorderman stunned as she's mistaken for Lady Gaga on the cover of Vogue

Carol Vorderman appeared stunned but amused after being mistaken for Lady Gaga on the cover of Vogue.

The 60-year-old, best known for her role on Countdown, was compared to the 35-year-old pop star by hair and make-up artist Alexis Day in a post on Instagram this week.

It came in response to Lady Gaga's recent appearance on the cover of the latest issue of fashion magazine British Vogue - which was unveiled earlier this month.

The Grammy Award winner is seen wearing a glamorous black gown, which features extravagant gold taffeta sleeves - with the singer-songwriter sporting electric blue hair.

Sharing the cover on social media, Alexis wrote: "On first glance I swear I thought this was the legend @carolvorders."

They added: "But apparently it's Lady Gaga who may be channelling some classic 80s Vorders." Alexis then encouraged the magazine to put Carol on an upcoming cover.

The make-up artist then shared a throwback photo of Carol alongside Lady Gaga on the cover, writing: "Twins, TWINS. The OG Carol Vorderman wins for me tbh."

Responding to the comparison, the TV presenter appeared complimented yet stunned, simply commenting: "I wish!" She accompanied it with laughing and wide eyed emojis.

The latest edition of British Vogue, with Lady Gaga on the cover, comes amid the release of her new film, House of Gucci - which is inspired by a true story.

The biographical crime film, directed by Ridley Scott, centres on couple Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga) and Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) as their relationship transforms into a fight for control of fashion brand Gucci.

They star as the leads in the new film, which also features Jared Leto, Al Pacino, Salma Hayek and Jeremy Irons.

A synopsis reads: "When Patrizia Reggiani, an outsider from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family, her unbridled ambition begins to unravel the family legacy."

It continues to tease that this "triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately murder."

House of Gucci is now in cinemas. The latest issue of British Vogue was released earlier this month.
