Lorraine viewers were left in hysterics today when a reporter was caught out by a Jurgen Klopp lookalike.
Last night, the country celebrated after England beat Germany to reach the Euro 2020 quarter-finals.
On Wednesday’s episode of Lorraine, the host spoke to Jonathan Swain who attended the match at Wembley Stadium.
And he was quick to show off his selfie with who he thought was the Liverpool manager.
What did Jonathan say on Lorraine today?
Jonathan told Lorraine Kelly: “As I was going into the stadium last night, I caught up with Jurgen Klopp as well, the Liverpool manager. Of course he is German.
“He was a great sport yesterday, chatting to many of the England fans.
“Even after the match, he was on the shoulders of some England supporters, drinking a can of beer. Just here, on Wembley way.
“What a tremendous chap he is.”
Lorraine exclaimed: “I love that!”
However, there was just one problem, the chap wasn’t the footballer manager.
The fan was dressed in a Liverpool tracksuit and had a baseball cap on, what Klopp often wears, so his look was pretty convincing.
Viewers flocked to Twitter express their laughter at the gaffe.
One person said: “Hahaha as if the ITV news reporter thought the Klopp lookalike was actually Klopp.”

Even William and Kate’s eldest son Prince George, seven, was there alongside his parents.
