A Queen superfan was stunned when she spotted the silhouette of legendary rock singer Freddie Mercury in a teaspoon. Nancy DeTrana's jaw dropped when she saw 'straight away' the Queen frontman's iconic yellow leather jacket pose from the 1986 Wembley tour peeping back from her teaspoon handle.
A striking image of the singer's teaspoon twin shows a clear head, body, two legs and the right arm raised, the pose immortalised in the bronze statue that stands in Montreux, Switzerland. The 'little silhouetto of a man' was first spotted by Nancy's 13-year-old daughter Elizabeth DeTrana who rushed to show her the spoon fresh from the dishwasher.
Thrilled at the watermark doppelganger, the 49-year-old college professor quickly took a snap of it before cleaning it again and washing away all vestiges of the rocker. The mum-of-two shared the snap on Facebook where thrilled social media users agreed to the likeness - even suggesting from some angles it looks like legendary crooner Elvis Presley.
