Trying to think who 13 year old girls would be interested in that they could have mistaken me for. I know I am fabulously good looking and youthful but sure I'm not quite Justin Bieber. Or maybe they were doing a "who can take a selfie next to the weirdest looking old bloke content"

Pretty sure you once told us you were an Albert Steptoe lookylike - teenage girls are mad for him!

Could be that if he wasn't dead. He was just so hot and sexy. Or maybe I will see an article in the local paper "Jimmy Saville not really dead, seen in local car park"

First off a couple of baggage handlers shouted something at me then a group of French school kids came over and asked for my autograph. I didn't know what they were on about when they inquired as to whether or not I was Rocco.

Rocco, it turns out, is Rocco Sifreddi - some Italian Frankie Vaughan performer and I'm a deadringer for him by all accounts. Had people come up to me all over the world since then.

I'm quite happy to go along with it but never go all the way; one look at the size of me chopper and they'd know I was of dubious provenance.
