Alex Beresford often gets mistaken for an 'EastEnders' serial killer.
Alex Beresford
The 'Good Morning Britain' weatherman says people sometimes think he is murdering priest Lucas Johnson, who was played by Don Gilet, and he once met the 52-year-old actor who revealed people mistake him for 38-year-old Alex, too.
He said: "I've actually been mistaken for Don Gilet who played Lucas Johnson, the murdering priest in 'EastEnders'.
"One day we actually met. He came up to me and said, 'Oh my gosh I get mistaken for you all the time,' and I said, 'Same for me'.
"We had a little chat about it."
Alex recalled the first time he was recognised happened on a train when two girls thought there were getting a picture with Don.
Speaking on 'GMB', he added: "I was on the train coming from Bristol to London.
"These two girls came up to me and said, 'Can we get a picture?'. Took the picture, they walked off and said, 'Can't believe we met that guy from 'EastEnders'.' "
Alex admitted he would much rather be likened to former French footballer Thierry Henry.
Lucas was a nasty piece of working during his time in Albert Square, killing five including his ex-wife Trina Johnson (Sharon Duncan-Brewster) and his wife Denise Fox's (Diane Parish) ex-husband Owen Turner (Lee Ross).
He also bumped off dog Sugar, the only witness to where Lucas buried Owen's corpse under a tree.
As a result of seeing this act, the inquisitive canine kept sniffing around the tree so Lucas is thought to have drowned the poor pooch off-screen.
