A woman has been having sleepless nights after being compared to English football player Cole Palmer.
Emily, who is known as @emlyhartnett on social media, shared a clip of her copying Palmer's poses for publicity pictures - and people can't believe their likeness.
On her TikTok video, she wrote: "Someone told me I look like Cole Palmer once and I haven't been able to sleep at night since."
However, it seems she's able to see the funny side to their uncanny likeness, adding: "Call me the goat, I guess." Not only do they both have brown eyes, they also have a similar facial structure including their nose and mouth shape.
Commenting on her video, one user said: "You look more like Cole Palmer than Cole Palmer."
Another user added: "If it makes you feel any better, I really fancy Cole Palmer." A third user said: "Put on a Chelsea shirt and don't ask why."
One more user added: "Honestly, I see it." Another user said: "I fear they're correct."
The now 23-year-old joined Chelsea from Manchester City on transfer deadline day in September 2023.
He was awarded Player of the Season during his first year at Stamford Bridge and became a full England international, going on to score in the European Championship final against Spain last summer.
Speaking about how fame has changed his life since joining Chelsea Palmer said on Chelsea FC: "My life has changed massively.
"I can't really go to certain places when I just want to chill. Like when you just go to the shop around the corner, you'll think someone's watching you.
"Being able to play five-a-side is the thing I miss most, though, just being able to go and play five-a-side with your mates."
However, one more user claims Cole Palmer isn't Emily's only lookalike, saying she also resembles YouTuber Calfreezy.
In agreement, one user said: "OMG, you're so true." Another added: "More accurate."
Even Calfreezy's close friend Callux couldn't help but laugh at the comparison, simply commenting: "LMAO."
A final user added: "It's like if Cole Palmer and Calfreezy had a kid."
Calfreezy has even played into this likeness dressing up as Palmer on The Fellas Podcast for Halloween last year.
Calfreezy, real name Callum Airey, owns The Fellas Studios alongside Joshua Larkin, known on YouTube as TheBurntChip.
Founded in 2020, the two YouTubers accumulated more than 1.7 billion views in 2023 with their popular podcasts The Fellas, Saving Grace and Growing Paynes.
