Pavarotti lookalike refused bank card

A Pavarotti lookalike was refused a bank card because staff thought his picture was of the late opera singer.

Colin Miller has been working as a double for Pavarotti for more than 20 years but he was stunned that his bank card application was rejected just because he resembles the singer.

He said: “I spoke to the staff at my bank who said they didn’t know why I was refused and could only assume it is because of who I look like.

“But I can’t help who I look like. I don’t try to look like Pavarotti, I have had no cosmetic surgery and I don’t try to do things to myself to look like him. I am being penalised for looking how I do."

The card was refused due to copyright.
