Duchess Sophie was stunned by Traitors star as she joined a host of familiar faces in London on Wednesday to celebrate Mencap’s 80th birthday.
The Duchess of Edinburgh, who serves as the charity’s patron, marked the milestone by cutting a cake alongside the members, ambassadors and myth busters.
A particular highlight of the event was a chocolate lollipop station set up by the charity, where guests could have their faces scanned and transformed into edible replicas.
Dragonetti personally handed Sophie a chocolate version of her own likeness and Sophie’s reaction was stunning as he was photographed in fits of laughter afterwards.
Among those present were model and actress Ellie Goldstein, who made Strictly Come Dancing history as the first contestant with Down Syndrome to appear in the main series, and Alexander Dragonetti, the former diplomat who became a household name through The Traitors and now serves as a Mencap ambassador.
The moment brought together key figures from the learning disability charity’s community to honour eight decades of its work.
