We still don't know if he can do the voice, but when it comes to looks Matt Lucas is a dead ringer for Britain's Got Talent sensation Susan Boyle.

The Little Britain star, best known for his chav character Vicky Pollard, has recreated the moment Miss Boyle first stepped on stage in front of the judges.

Real deal, Susan Boyle the singing contestant, left, and hairless angel, Matt Lucas, right

An unruly brown wig, bushy eyebrows and substantial gold frock achieve the transformation from roly-poly bald comedian to the so-called Hairy Angel.
Lucas, who adopted the pose for heat magazine, says of Miss Boyle: 'I thought she was really good.

'But I wouldn't say she was extraordinary. It was an extraordinary TV moment because she was such an unlikely heroine.

Matt in real life minus the Susan Boyle get-up

Dead ringer: Matt dressed up as Hairy Angel, Susan Boyle for Heat magazine

'It'll be interesting to see what happens to her - she comes across as having lots of humility.'

In an interview, 36-year-old Lucas reveals that he has lost two stone in eight weeks after his doctor warned him about his weight.
He is restricted to 1,500 calories a day and has undertaken a rigorous fitness regime.

'The likelihood of me being a proper thin man is remote,' he admits.

'I think I'll end up being a stone overweight.

'But I'm not there yet by any stretch of the imagination.'

The full interview is in this week's Heat magazine, on sale now.

Anyone here know if the recent shots of Matt Lucas in character have been for Little Britain or Little Britain USA?

He 'does' her well.

He dressed up as Susan for Heat magazine, not for his tv shows, Peike.

That's funny.
He did put the watch on the wrong wrist, though.

Id like to see him sing . But he would sing it really bad. And then that would be funny.

I was about to say, I despair of British weeklies. I have never heard her called 'Su-Bo' before, and I'm English, if that helps redeem us at all

Love Matt, the ultimate UN-politically correct comedian. He really doesn't give a crap if anyone is offended but he does it with style and wit. Top bloke.
