| "Cardinal Ricky, you doughnut! You've broken a commandment, you double yolker." EastEnders icon Frank once turned up on Pat's doorstep, naked apart from a spinning bow tie. It's unlikely Pope Francis will do this. Photograph: Fremantle Media Ltd/Rex Features | "Cardinal Ricky, you doughnut! You've broken a commandment, you double yolker."

| Last year's Great British Bake Off finalist had a papal air about him in the marquee kitchen: serene, refined and endlessly patient. For Irish-born perfectionist Brendan, a soggy bottom is the ultimate sin. | Last year's Great British Bake Off finalist had a papal air about him in the marquee kitchen: serene, refined and endlessly patient.

| Like Catherine Tate's character, Pope Francis may have to put up with certain insinuations being made about a 76-year-old confirmed bachelor. "Who, dear? Me, dear? Gay, dear? No, dear. How very dare you!" Photograph: Tiger Aspect/BBC | Like Catherine Tate's character, Pope Francis may have to put up with certain insinuations being made about a 76-year-old confirmed bachelor.

| Pope Francis is a pret-tay, pret-tay good doppelganger for the Seinfeld co-creator and Curb your Enthusiasm star. Let's hope he's not quite as prone to swearing or social faux-pas.

| The veteran actor played cat-stroking Spectre boss Ernst Blofeld in You Only Live Twice. The Bond villain was the role model for Austin Power's arch enemy Dr Evil – kind of paradoxical for a pope lookalike.

| The car salesman from Fonejacker and Facejacker hails from Rickmansworth, which is probably a bit like Buenos Aires. "Popemobile prices, talk to me. Thank you and goodnight – much love." | The car salesman from Fonejacker and Facejacker hails from Rickmansworth, which is probably a bit like Buenos Aires. "Popemobile prices, talk to me.

| The "pop-pop" from Arrested Development aptly once became a devout Christian after reading a pamphlet he found in a garbage bag while hiding from the taxman in the attic. No touching!

| Curmudgeonly Corrado from The Sopranos was, like his papal lookalike, fond of wearing hats and talking in homilies. Let's hope that's where the resemblance ends because Uncle Junior later went senile and shot his nephew Tony in the stomach.

| The CBS Orchestra leader has been David Letterman's tinted-spectacled sidekick for over 30 years. He used to play piano in the Saturday Night Live house band and, in 1979, was the first person to drop the F-bomb on the show. Not pontiff-like behaviour at all.
