I've always said this too!

Thebodyloveschocolateandwine · 14/08/2014 23:13

Yes Always thought so. Love Fatima she's ace.

ChanelNo19LoveIt · 14/08/2014 23:16

I agree!

juneybean · 14/08/2014 23:19

Someone said this on Mumsnet ages ago and now it's all I think about when I see him!

mrsballack · 14/08/2014 23:22

Hmm. Might be on to something there. She was apparently born in east London and raised in essex. He is from havering, both a London borough and essex

At first I thought noooooo, but I googled Andy, then Fatima Whitbread and the resemblance is uncanny. They look like twins.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 14/08/2014 23:49

Absolutely! We noticed this last year when they were showing the "autumn song" all the time. DS2 (12 at the time) was absolutely convinced Andy was actually Fatima Whitbread in a woolly hat Grin.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 14/08/2014 23:51

Just to add - DD (3) was watching CBeebies. Not 12 year old DS2.

I had never clapped eyes on her until she went into the jungle a few years back and I thought it was Andy :o

DennyDifferent · 15/08/2014 00:24

Yes! I had to Google if he was here son.

Catsize · 15/08/2014 00:33

There's an Andy on CBeebies?? I just thought Fatima had had leg extensions.

We have always thought the same Chez Catsize.

As far as we know, they have never been seen in the same room together...

I've been saying this for at least 3 years Grin

The one of Fatima just looks like Andy with makeup on. Whiz your mouse between the lower two pics for a speedy "With and Without Makeup" view!

Catsize · 15/08/2014 00:45

It's really spooky Mrs W. Love 'Fandy'. Grin

Babymamaroon · 15/08/2014 08:41

I really thought he was her son! It's uncanny...

My mum thought he WAS Fatima Whitbread (quite why she would have a job doing links on CBeebies I don't know).

My dad is totally astonished that they aren't related. And they aren't - poor Andy confirmed this in an interview. Seems he's a bit fed up of talking about it.

"There isn’t much that ruffles the feathers of Andy Day, the up-and-coming CBeebies presenter – except, that is, when athlete and former I’m a Celebrity contestant Fatima Whitbread is in the news. “When she was on I’m a Celebrity everybody kept tweeting me, emailing me and telling me that I looked like her,” he says laughing. “It was a bit annoying but I got used to it and I suppose, yes, there is a bit of a resemblance. And can I say that I think she is a beautiful person and looks great? I would love to meet her.”"
