A worker at the NHS has been left in stitches after discovering ET staring back at her from her lamb shank.
In a strange twist on her usual Sunday lunch, Karen Eade got the shock of a lifetime when she was visited by the beloved extraterrestrial.
On Sunday (February 5), the 63-year-old, went into the oven to check on the meat but soon fell about laughing at the greeting from Steven Spielberg’s iconic character.

With a protruding bone that looks like an eye socket, wrinkles, a smile-like cut and a sprig of rosemary for hair, the resemblance really is remarkable – if slightly wonky.

Perhaps not looking his best, this particular rendition of the beloved alien sits in a pool of its own juices at is tenderises in the oven.
An administrator for the NHS, she grabbed a snap of the face, posting it online with the caption: “My Sunday lunch, what do you see?”
She said: “I was cooking a half leg of lamb and I took the foil off halfway through cooking.
“I noticed the face and so I put it on social media but never thought I would have such a response.
“The whole lamb looks like E.T., some of the comments are so funny.
“It’s a good job that I’ve got thick skin as some of the comments are rude about my cooking but I do realise it’s mostly tongue-in-cheek.
“The lamb was delicious to be honest.”
People responded accordingly, offering a bit of wit about Karen’s find.
One said: “If E.T. hadn’t gone home.”
Another added:: “E.T. phone home.”
“E.T. didn’t go home after all,” a third chimed in.
The slightly disturbing picture has since received almost 1,000 comments and hundreds of shares online.
