We all know that EastEnders' Phil Mitchell is a talented soul – but it seems we had no idea about the true extent of his abilities.

One Twitter user spotted a photo of 'country singer Tracy Lawrence' looking suspiciously like a well-known Walford resident, and tweeted it to actor Harry Reid, who plays Phil's son Ben in the BBC soap.

He wrote: "Who knew your dad moonlighted as a country singer!?!?"

Harry clearly found the resemblance hilarious, as he retweeted the image and captioned it: "This is genius!! Steve Mac has a double!!"

Maybe if Phil expressed his feelings through song rather than by beating people up, he'd have a calmer life?

And this isn't the first Phil lookalike outed on the internet, not even the first one this year. Back in January, Sally Darley and Craig Moylan became an online hit after a mate noticed their uncanny similarity to Phil and Shirley.

Harry will soon be departing EastEnders, which may well have something to do with nasty Luke Browning and his violent ways.

Phil will also have his own big storyline over Christmas, when his former cellmate Aidan (Patrick Bergin) gets him involved in a dangerous job.
