A video of a Rishi Sunak doppelgänger dancing at Wayne Lineker’s Ibiza club has set social media alight.
The footage shows a man, who has since been dubbed ‘Raving Rishi’, cutting shapes at a sunny party surrounded by hundreds of party-goers.
The doppelganger is shirtless, wearing black sunglasses, Versace shorts and a shiny watch while clutching one of the venue’s trademark orange cups.
Observers have joked that the lookalike’s dancing was akin to the Chancellor’s celebrations amid growing pressure on Prime Minister Boris Johnson over the ‘Partygate’ scandal.
Sam Heather quipped: ‘Rishi when Boris gets fired.’
A second added that Mr Sunak was ‘living his best life’, while a third said Mr Sunak was ‘dropping a cheeky two step’.
Another asked: ‘Rishi Sunak letting his hair down?’
It is unclear when the video was taken or the identity of Mr Sunak’s lookalike, but the footage appears to have been taken at Mr Lineker’s O Beach Ibiza club on the Spanish party island.
It comes after a YouGov poll earlier this month found that 46 per cent of Conservative members felt Mr Sunak would win more seats at the next election than Mr Johnson.

The short video clip was posted on Wayne Lineker’s Instagram page – the owner of the beach club in Ibiza
The man has not been identified or named, nor is it known when the footage at the club was taken
The video clip was posted on social media by O Beach Ibiza club owner Wayne Lineker – brother of Match of the Day presenter Gary
Despite the video, though, the Chancellor is teetotal.
Wayne Lineker, brother of Match of the Day presenter Gary, posted the clip in reaction to news that clubs in Ibiza will be able to open in April.
He said on Friday: ‘This is crazy right now. It’s literally going mad.
‘People booking Ibiza flights, already getting full after today’s announcements in Ibiza. Hotel websites crashing.
‘I’m nervous what’s gonna happen on the morning of January 31 when bed bookings open and events are announced for O Beach Ibiza. I told you “this will be the summer of our lives”.’
The post has received hundreds of comments from users pointing out the striking resemblance to the Chancellor.
One said: ‘Rishi Sunak looks hyped.’
Another added: ‘Rishi Sunak absolutely buzzing at the front.’
Mr Sunak has not been implicated in any of the alleged rule-breaking parties at Downing Street.

Senior civil servant Sue Gray is investigating the controversial events and is expected to publish her findings this week.
It comes as Downing Street police gave ‘extremely damning’ evidence to Ms Gray, while former No10 aide Dominic Cummings is due to meet her today.
Officers from the Scotland Yard’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command, who were guarding No10, are said to have been ‘only too willing’ to provide accounts to the investigation.
