A portrait artist believes that Vladimir Putin is not using a body double and has honed in on specific facial features to prove her point.
Simone Malik, from Bradford, says the Russian president is alive and has used tiny details on "key areas" such as Putin's nose, ears and lips, as reasons why she is "almost certain he's not using a body double".
Instead, she puts the 70-year-olds rounder, puffier appearance down to signs of "natural ageing or an underlying health condition."
