Man stunned to see Freddie Mercury appear in dinner

A dad-of-two was left totally starstruck after he says Queen frontman Freddie Mercury appeared on the pork chop he was making for dinner.

Derek Simms, 47, says he placed the piece of meat into the frying pan at his home in Blackpool only to see the rocker appear 10 minutes later.

Engineer Derek said: "I've never seen anything like it.

"I've cooked a lot of things and lived a lot of years but I've never seen my food resemble a celebrity before.

"Before I served it up I called over my wife and she clocked it straight away.

"We looked at it for a minute of two but we were both hungry so I ended up eating it.

"I know it's a bit silly but I've shown people and they say it's a dead ringer for Freddie.

"I'm a big fan. I never saw him live but I would have loved to.

"I just don't know what else to say. It was a nice surprise."
