To join in the royal wedding festivities, First Dates aired a special royal-themed episode on Thursday night.

The episode saw a variety of diners who had some kind of connection to the royal family.

But one diner that caught viewers’ attention in particular was Jodie Bredo from Chelmsford, who is a Kate Middleton lookalike.

Ahead of her date, Jodie told the camera: “I don’t normally tell people, ‘Hi I’m Jodie, by the way I’m a Kate Middleton lookalike.’ That’s not what I do.”

The 29-year-old then enjoyed a date with football fanatic James, 31, from Hertfordshire.

Revealing her three jobs, Jodie told James: “My main job is in IT, I also do promo for a radio station part-time and my third job is I’m a lookalike. Do you know [who]?”

“Yeah,” James replied. “Kate Middleton.”

Jodie revealed she’s been a Kate lookalike for nine years.

“Some people say it’s my smile,” Jodie told the camera. “I have to keep looking at what she does, what she’s wearing and how her hair is.”

“She just keeps getting skinnier and it’s not helping my work,” she joked.

James told the camera: “She does look a lot like Kate Middleton. Very attractive. That was a nice surprise.”

And their date was such a success, Jodie and James agreed to a second date!
