Jamie Vardy has been all the rage this season in the Premier League and after his goalscoring substitute appearance against Wales changed the game for England on Thursday he's the main man once again. Today the striker answered a question about blocking his lookalike, postman Lee Chapman.
Chapman, a Leicester fan, shot to fame when celebrating the Foxes title win outside of the King Power Stadium the day after Chelsea and Spurs drew to officially make Leicester the champions of England. He was spotted by the tv cameras and then invited by the team to join them for a celebratory lunch.
Things have since gone sour for the Chapman-Vardy relationship with the footballer, and his wife, blocking the postman, who's been given six months off work to make money off being a lookalike, on Twitter.

The suggestion was that it was to stop Chapman doing any danger to Vardy's public image whilst his wife suggested it was also because the Leicester fan was harassing the family on social media. Vardy was asked in a press conference today about blocking Chapman by a Russian journalist and PA reporter Rich McCarthy tweeted the awkward exchange:

However Chapman has had his say on social media today and clearly isn't too bothered by being blocked, after all he can still make money by looking like his footballing idol even if he can't tweet him anymore:

It's all got very silly now.
