JOE WICKS is more used to transforming fitness than transferring football clubs – but he’s landed a sensational clone move!
The celebrity body coach has been inundated with teasing messages after lookalike Brighton defender Marc Cucurella joined Chelsea.
Fans believe Wicks’ resemblance to the Spaniard is as amazing as the £62million fee Brighton received.
And the TV presenter showed attack can be the best form of defence as he quickly posted: “Loads of people congratulating me on signing for @ChelseaFC” – followed by crying with laughter emojis.
And with Chelsea visiting Everton on Saturday evening for their Premier League opener, one follower tweeted: “Congratulations Joe mate, good luck tomorrow.”
Social media star Wicks and left-back Cucurella would be uncannily similar even if they didn’t have the same curly long brown hair and beard.

And fans also speculated over “Who is the fittest though lol”.
But above all it’s their twinsome appearance that staggered social media.
One said: “Tell me Joe Wicks and Cucurella are not related.
Others made comments such as “that’s an incredible lookalike” and “Congrats on your new venture Joe!”

One fan joked: “You are a man of many talents.”
Some even suggested Wicks, 36, could stand in for the 24-year-old at Stamford Bridge.
“Long lost twin possible?” was one suggestion, with the poster adding: “You look like Cucurella more than Cucurella himself.”
