				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello. News just in, keen nut collector and local violin teacher <strong>Nigel Kennedy</strong> has discovered his second nut lookalike in as many years. &#8220;Everyone remembers the brazil nut i discovered that looked like <strong>Che Guevara</strong>&#8230;&#8221; Nigel reminded me over an early morning white wine-spritza &#8220;It sent shock waves around the World when it sold at auction for close to £1 million pounds. But the one I found this week is bound to get even more media attention as it&#8217;s a more popular type of nut and looks like one of the Worlds&#8217; most famous women.&#8221; He then showed me a photo of an almond and asked if I could guess who it looked like? But as i&#8217;d not brought my reading glasses I couldn&#8217;t tell. &#8220;It&#8217;s the spitting image of <strong>Amanda Holden</strong>! <strong>Britain&#8217;s Got Talents</strong> most favourite judge&#8221; he exclaimed whilst topping up my glass. When i looked again and squinted I could see that, despite my blurred vision, the likeness was indeed uncanny. &#8220;And&#8221; he added &#8220;It&#8217;s appropriate the likeness is on an almond. Because I hear Amanda loves them. They were her favourite ingredient when she won <strong>Masterchef</strong>. My almond&#8230;&#8221; he continued whilst lighting a cigarette &#8220;was discovered in a normal packet of mixed nuts.The rest of the nuts were nothing special, but this one, which i&#8217;ve christened Almonda Holden, caught my eye. It&#8217;s got to be worth a couple of million at least, given her status on TV&#8221; Nigel then told me that once again people are claiming it&#8217;s a fake, that he drew the face on with biro and that it&#8217;s just a money making stunt. But as he said whilst I was paying the large drinks bill &#8220;It&#8217;s all mother nature&#8217;s work. And as we know, she moves in mysterious ways!&#8221; So good luck to Nigel and Almonda, I&#8217;ll let you know how they get on at auction. Yours Christine Batley. Chief Nut Lookalike Correspondent.
