There was a rather awkward moment on the UK’s Crimewatch as one of the suspects profiled on the programme looked rather surprisingly like one of the programme’s presenters.
The similarity between host Jason Mohammad and Victor Lakatos was spotted by eagle eyed viewers, when a photo of Lakatos popped up beside Mohammad when he and co-host Sophie Raworth ran through old cases.
The uncanny resemblance prompted a barrage of Tweets from viewer’s within a matter of minutes with many hilariously commenting on how the pair looked a like. However the similarity was picked up on so many times that Mohammad himself had to acknowledge it, writing: “Thanks for the tweets. And yes, I’ve seen the picture #Crimewatch”.
Fortunately for the presenter the suspect, Victor Lakatos, has already been jailed for 18 years for assault, meaning Mohammad was at least spared the embarrassment of phone calls into Crimewatch reporting him.
