James lookalike in 'The Soldiers'.

I've done a search trying to find if this has been discussed previously (I know there is nothing more irritating than an unnecessary new thread) but unless I'm really thick and have overlooked it I can't find anything.

Has anyone seen those three blokes, The Soldiers? They are singing soldiers who have made an album with the proceeds going to military type causes. I caught a glimpse of them on This Morning and one of them really looks like James. He also has a good voice (though obviously not as good as our hero!).

Wondered if anyone else had clocked the resemblance.

A few of us have brought this resemblence up a few times, I've seen him speaking and he has similar mannerisms to James too, although he has'nt the Welsh accent.

I had a strange OMG he looks like James moment a few weeks ago when Westlife were on telly. One of the guys in Westlife looks rally like James and I was so shocked. I don't know his name cos I can't stand them but be interesting if anyone else thinks they look alike.

So everyone knows they look alike...
