Does anyone think the Mirror's Kevin Maguire looks like Chris Eakin from BBC News? - Broadcasting

I saw Kevin Maguire on today's 'Have I Got News for You?' and by a quick glance I thought it was Chris Eakin from the BBC News channel!

They do look very alike! (although they have very different accents)...

I know Kevin Maguire is invited in every now and again to do the late night paper reviews on the BBC News channel... be nice to see him on when Chris Eakin is on!

Anyone else see the likeness?

Who cares?

He looked like the vicar from Emmerdale more.

I think they look nothing like each other. However I wish the Labour sop Maguire would appear on the BBC much less frequently than he does.

The BBC and Sky pick from the same little group of paper reviewers (who seem reluctant to touch any story involving the BBC or Sky). I've never seen anyone from the Morning Star, the Mail or Express or any of the regional newspapers (Scottish papers, Belfast Newsletter, Western Mail etc).R5 do occasionally use people from provincial papers - and what about some of the London correspondents for foreign papers (NY Times, Le Monde). It's a pally little club which needs shaking up a bit.

To echo Widow 57 - who cares?

The BBC Sport presenter Chris Hollins and BBC London newsreader Victoria Hollins always look very similar to me. Has anyone actually seen them together on TV or could one be a cross-dresser (or even both)
