A Donald Trump impersonator had to switch his phone off after he was bombarded with calls for work after his US election win.
Pensioner, Mike Osman, has been a double of the newly elected American president for nine years.
The 65-year-old grandfather still picked up jobs being his double even after Trump, 78, left the White House in 2021.

But he is now being swamped with offers after his political comeback.
Mike, of Southampton, told What’s The Jam: “Thank you Donald for giving me another four years of the best job in the world.
“I’ve had to switch my phone off, it hasn’t stopped ringing.
“I was up watching the polls as the votes came in and within an hour I’d had five new job offers already.
“There was no doubt in my mind that Trump was going to win, everyone claims to hate him but I know that the world loves him.

“I’ve been consistently working since he was out of office but the work has just ramped up.”
Mike added: “I’m sure Trump’s probably seen my work, he’s the type of guy to look into what’s being said about him online.
“Nigel Farage has seen me perform a few times, I reckon he must’ve told Trump about it.

“I’m sure I got a call from Donald Trump late one night – it was a Washington number.
“I tried to call back in the morning but it didn’t pick up, I have a feeling it was him on the line.
“People have been congratulating me like I’m actually the new President.
“When I’ve been out and about in public as Trump people have flocked to me for pictures – it’s like being Mickey Mouse in Disney World sometimes.
“I’ve even been asked to leave a pub by a regular who thought I was the man himself.
“I’m so chuffed that he’s got back in, it’s the best work I’ve ever done – it’s been an absolute joy.”
Mike is regarded as the best Trump impersonator in the UK.
He kits himself out with a £2,700 wig and a body fat suit.
Mike also adds an orange glow to his face and has also mastered his voice.
The US President’s doppelganger has appeared on TV shows such as Channel 4’s The Last Leg.
But he also does corporate gigs.
Tickets to his shows can cost anywhere up to £18 with fans also being able to purchase personalised videos from the impersonator.
Before starting his Trump work, Mike had built up a very successful TV and radio career.
