Comedian Mel Buttle reveals her surprising celebrity doppelgänger

She’s the Aussie comedian who appeared on the latest season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 

And Mel Buttle revealed on Friday she has a surprising celebrity doppelgänger.

The 39-year-old said she was often confused for actress Tara Morice, who played Fran in Baz Luhrman’s 1992 film Strictly Ballroom.

‘Over on TikTok, the kids are saying I look like Fran from Strictly Ballroom,’ she wrote on Instagram alongside a collage of her videos.

She compared her appearance on TikTok to a photo of Tara in the romantic comedy.

And it seems many of her fans agreed, as one wrote: ‘Mel! Hahaha I will never unsee this and I’m so glad.’

‘Oooh a little resemblance,’ another added.

A third commented: ‘No s**t you totally do, but it’s not a bad thing!’

Who is she? Mel was the first contestant to leave I’m a Celebrity’s seventh season this year

The people have spoken! Many of Mel’s fans on Instagram agreed the two women look alike

Mel was the first contestant to leave I’m a Celebrity’s seventh season this year. 

In emotional scenes that aired in January, the funnywoman sensationally quit the show after co-star Pettifleur Berenger spotted a snake near their campsite.

Breaking down in tears, Mel revealed she had ‘a huge phobia of snakes’ and had been struggling ever since Pettifleur’s sighting.

‘I’m not even afraid that they’re gonna bite me. It’s not that. It’s the image of them. And it’s of even a photo of them,’ she said.

‘And I wanted to try and come here and see how long… how well I would go. And then today, with Pettifleur, I have been losing my mind all day.

‘I feel like s**t, doing this. But I… I, um, I have to go, unfortunately.’

As she farewelled her campmates, Mel maintained her sense of humour by saying: ‘I know I’m gonna regret it… But I can always go on Bachelor in Paradise.’

Game over: As she said her goodbyes, Mel confessed she was worried she was going to be replaced on the show by ‘some d**khead’
