Unable to use pyfakeWebcam with opencv

If you are getting this error while using pyfakewebcam with opencv from this well explained blog

TypeError: Expected Ptr<cv::UMat> for argument '%s'

import cv2
import pyfakewebcam

import numpy as np

gray = pyfakewebcam.FakeWebcam('/dev/video0', 640, 480)

while(True):
    # Capture frame-by-frame

    print('Type of gray ->', type(gray))
    gray = cv2.resize(gray, (500, 300))
    
    
    cv2.imshow("Pyfakewebcam", gray)

    key = cv2.waitKey(1)
    if key == 27:
        break

gray.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

If you look closely, I have printed the type of the image that we are getting from pyfakewebcam. It is not a np.ndarray as we get from opencv. Hence we cannot use this pyfakewebcam for opencv operations.
