Went for lunch with a friend (Heidi Klum) look-a-like yesterday. She was playing the 'ooh - which gorgeous supermodel do I look like game'. Bit boring and predictable as she really does.What a fisher. Anyhoos, I came out as Vic Reeves... not a young one either. Ran to loo to adjust winkle pickers and novelty leggings only to stare into the face of... Vic Reeves. Everywhere I go Vic is staring out at me.Am uncanny spit.
Which celeb do you look like but would rather not?

I tend to get compared to any bumbling mousy haired bloke in glasses.

during the mid 90s it was Wiiiiilllll from TFI Friday.

Nowdays it tends to be Gareth Malone or a young Alan Bennett

The mot flattering one was Ben Gibbard from the band 'The Postal Service' which was ace cos he was married to Zoey Dashenel at the time.

Although I do look A LOT like a smaller version of Colin Meloy from the Decemberists, so much so that my mum couldn't tell a picture of him from one of me.

When I was a teenager I was bullied because I looked like Björk.

Now I get Janine off of eastenders CONSTANTLY. Even when I wear my sodding glasses. I deliberately changed my hair style but nothing makes any difference. She even got pregnant same time as me bitch

Think is rather be björk again. It does upset me, probably because of the bullying but I realise that my problem, no one else's.

Darlene from Roseanne

I used to get stopped in the street when I was a teenager to ask if I was her.

Oh yeah, my fiancée LOVES the fact that she gets compared to Gerard Depardieu, but then she is a bit of an oddball.

I look like Lesley Sharp, according to a couple of people who've said "You look like that actress. Can't remember her name, she was in that thing with that woman from Corrie..."

I went to school with a girl who looked like Ben Elton, so I'm relatively happy with my lot.

When I was a teenager I was constantly told I looked like Kate Bush.

I was thrilled with this as I was (and still am) a big fan.

Now I don't look like anyone because I became invisible in middle age.

When I let my hair go naturally curly and it's normal shade of brown, I get told Sigourney Weaver a LOT. Similar strong jawline I have blonde hi lights now and use straighteners ...

When I was much younger and slimmer I was told a few times that I looked like Patsy Kensit. However no-one has said that to me for a veeery long time Grin

I don't know that I could spend any amount of time with someone who played the "which supermodel do I look like" game. What an ass.

I don't look like anyone but I sister once had people shouting after her in London "It's Leticia" (Sharon from Eastenders). That was probably 25 years ago and she still looks like her today.

Someone once told me I looked like Uma Thurman. I didn't then and I certainly don't now.

In my youth I was apparently quite like Jacqueline Kennedy.

Using celebrity.picadilo.com I am 70% like Cristiano Ronaldo (who?), 60% Serena Williams, 59% Pedro Almodovar (who?), 58% Jackie Chan (!?!?!?!) and 56% Martha Stewart. Think I might have to use a different picture and try again.

Friends and family all think I am like Jennifer Aniston (the fat version of course)

One 'friend' about ten years ago, when I was particularly chubby and going through a bleach blonde hair phase, likened me to Kerry Katona. Blush

Think I'll stick with Jennifer Aniston!

When at school I was the image of Phoebe the geeky girl in glasses in Neighbours. Same chin and nose.

I have been told that I now look like a younger Helen Hunt.

Both of which are quite flattering so I am pleased.
