To be pissed off with my celebrity look-a-like?

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 got accused of being that racist lady who was awful to Shilpa Shetty at work once! Had to deny vehimently (not sure why she'd be in the staff bogs in an office in Kew, but never mind).
Also, in the 90s, Zoe Ball.
Not too keen on either, but Zoe Ball is better!

When I was younger I got "Sandra Bullock without the square jaw" which was sort of nice but I don't see it at all. My passport photo looks a bit like Myra Hindley's mugshot though... Can't wait til it expires!

My mum when she was my age (27) got Princess Anne all the time, I can really see it in old photos. All she needed was a beehive. Incidentally they are the same age, but they couldn't look more different now.

My only gripe with my celebrity look-alike (and she can be anonymous) is that she appears to live in a different universe. Not only does her physical appearance seem to age more slowly than mine, but her declared age is going up more slowly than mine. Hmm

If only I knew the secret!

I apparently look like Tulisa (NDubz, Xfactor) and DH looks like Shane Ward who was on X Factor years ago.

issey6cats · 05/04/2013 13:28

i just look like me but my daughter is the spitting image of kylie minogue

babysbreath · 05/04/2013 13:34

When I had short blonde hair I was told all the time I looked Princess Diania, then when my hair was long, dark and curly I was told I looked like Celine Dione and then when it was long, blonde and straight people mentioned I looked like Paula Radcliffe.

Lorraine Kelly Sad

It doesn't help that she appears on an advert on this site so see her quite frequently.

NoelHeadbands · 05/04/2013 13:50

A female Tim Minchin Hmm

I've told this on here before, but many years ago I was told I looked like a young Norma Major.

That kind of shit fucks you up Sad

nightmaretime · 05/04/2013 13:53

Harry Potter Sad

ToothGah · 05/04/2013 14:00

My DP insists I look like Sheridan Smith.

To the point he got drunk one night and walked around the pub showing everyone Sheridan Smith's photo and pointing at me the curvy redhead standing at the bar.

Everyone's face was like Hmm ok.

That stupid celeb picture calculator said I was 51% Morgan Freeman and 49% Donald Trump Angry

Wishfulmakeupping · 05/04/2013 14:09

I did it again to make sure I didn't look like celine Dion...and I don't I actually look like an old man www.google.co.uk/search?q=oscar+de+la+renta&hl=en&client=safari&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=lMxeUb7KGOLP0QXDjoGoBw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=320&bih=356#

chrome100 · 05/04/2013 14:10

When I was in my 20s people said I looked like Sophie Ellis Bextor. Now I am 32 no one says it any more Sad

WorraLiberty · 05/04/2013 14:16

I don't have a lookalike but my eldest DS is the absolute double of Rylan from X Factor Grin

He hates it and even shaved his carefully groomed facial hair off...but it's made no difference. He's still the spitting image.

ShirazSavedMySanity · 05/04/2013 14:16

Kim Wilde. Rock and indeed Roll.

SisterMonicaJoan · 05/04/2013 14:17

In my younger, carefree days I was often told I look like Louise Wener from the band Sleeper. Does anyone even know who she is???

Wishfulmakeupping · 05/04/2013 14:19

Yes I do she was very pretty :)

WafflyVersatile · 05/04/2013 14:20

Sonia the bubbly liverpudlian 80s popstress.

not any longer.

WitchOfEndor · 05/04/2013 14:23

In my younger and thinner days I was once accosted by a drunk Glaswegian who said I looked like Posh Spice. He was so drunk that for the first few minutes (he was persistent) I thought he was saying I looked Polish!

SisterMonicaJoan · 05/04/2013 14:34

Thanks wishful - I wasn't as thin as her though!

loopylou6 · 05/04/2013 14:57

Janice from friends Hmm

Orangerevel · 05/04/2013 18:06

Cherie Blair

anonymosity · 05/04/2013 18:09

Debbie Harry (much younger version, obviously)

badguider · 05/04/2013 18:09

When I was younger it was Kirsty Young, scottish newsreader and now desert island discs.
Now, on a good day Kate Humble but on a bad day like Kate Humble dragged through a hedge backwards (it's the hair).

yaimee · 05/04/2013 18:12

Nessa from Gavin and Stacy, not Ruth Jones, Nessa!

GilmoursPillow · 05/04/2013 18:34

Many years ago I looked like Julia Sawalha in the early days of Ab Fab.

Sadly I no longer look like her :(
