Palma.—Conchita Wurst, the winner of the recent Eurovision song contest final, has a doppelganger here in Majorca.
“It’s horrible, since last Saturday lots of people on the street, on Facebook or via WhatsApp have been telling me I look like Conchita Wurst.
“In reality I don’t think we are that similar.”
These are the pained words of Mateu Jaume Roig from Vilafranca de Bonany.
Roig was out on the town when the Austrian singer Wurst - real name Thomas Neuwirth - was on stage dazzling Europe with his power ballad Rise Like a Phoenix.
“My phone was ringing and people were asking me if I had been singing at Eurovision,” Roig explained to Catalan daily La Vanguardia.
