As well as being one of our best-loved presenters, writer, producer and modern Renaissance man, Richard Osman, is a bit brilliant at that there Twitter thing, with jokes like these:

I think we all knew that season 8 of ‘Brexit’ would end with Boris Johnson becoming Prime Minister.

Am sitting in horrible traffic, but fortunately someone is beeping their horn so we should be on the move soon.

But Richard has his sights set on other vistas, so he has joined Instagram – home of the perfect dinners and endless mirror selfies, neither of which do we suspect will be the focus of his new account. He’s started it off with a bang, however, by posting this.

“Hello everyone. To prove it’s the real me, here’s a picture of me as a Nun in the 1960s.”

It’s nuncanny.

This has to be the best – and weirdest – celebrity lookalike we’ve ever seen. Here are some of our favourite reactions.

Because he’s an old hand at this social media malarkey – a much older hand than we’d all suspected, by the look of that photo – he tried to tempt his Twitter followers onto the other platform, using Richard Osnun.

I would consider it an honour if you were to choose to also follow me on Instragram. Here is a picture of the best ever-lookalike of me as an incentive https://t.co/Qvjdc9mpM5
