Lovely day today with family, but my mother said that fearne McCann from towie looks just like me!

I was mortified! She's someone that looks pretty rough, makeup caked on and a nose with warts.she also has a horrible manly voice and is a particularly unpleasant person.

Aibu to think its just something you don't say to someone

I've always like Fearne Grin

thebigwasp · 05/04/2015 20:19

Call your mum 'Nanny Pat' then Smile

WilburIsSomePig · 05/04/2015 20:19

So, you're not a fan then...

grannytomine · 05/04/2015 20:19

I was going to say take no notice but your description has made me rethink. I have no idea who she is but I can't imagine wanting to look like her. Yes, disown her now. No one knows quite how to put the knife in like a mother.

LaurieFairyCake · 05/04/2015 20:26

I don't know who she is but are you sporting the traditional Towie look

Giant eyebrows, fake tan, huge breasts scaffolded to your chin?

If you look nowt like that feel free to ignore Her

ChipDip · 05/04/2015 20:33

Being compared to anyone from towir is an insult.

PrettyLittleMitty · 05/04/2015 20:36

Ouch! Thanks mum! Think of someone equally as unpleasant to compare her to, someone she has a particular dislike for Grin

PatriciaHolm · 05/04/2015 20:37

Well, do you? Wink

BlueBananas · 05/04/2015 20:42

I think we're gonna need a picture so we can tell if she is being unreasonable or if she's right? Easter Grin

AuntieDee · 05/04/2015 21:11

I agree with bb we need a picture to be able to tell you honestly...

God no I'm not posting that, not really the point anyway. You don't tell someone they remind you of some rough bitch!

I think fearne looks pretty yabu. I could think of far worse towie people to be compared to (Gemma Collins).

BlueBananas · 05/04/2015 22:53

"Some rough bitch" Hmm unnecessarily harsh!
And just because oh think she's rough doesn't mean everyone does, your mum may think she's really pretty and is trying to give you a compliment!

Allofaflumble · 05/04/2015 22:55

I think Fearne is the best looking of all of them! She has lovely eyes and irregular features which I think are very attractive. That's my opinion. Smile

Never watch the show but having looked at [http://lowereastsidetours.org/Gallery-TOWIE-girls-with-no-make-up-Lucy-Mecklenburgh-Chloe-Sims-Frankie-Essex-Ferne-McCann this]] I'd say YABU, I think she looks very attractive without makeup.

drinkscabinet · 05/04/2015 23:08

link fail Blush

Salmotrutta · 05/04/2015 23:17

I've just looked at that link - she looks very attractive I think.

You aren't coming across well describing her in the terms you have OP. Very unkind.

ButchCassidy · 05/04/2015 23:33

I think Ferne is naturally pretty and very attractive.
YABU

Wigglebummunch · 05/04/2015 23:37

I think she's quite pretty actually. Maybe your mum meant your like her in other ways. How lovely you are calling someone you don't even know a rough bitch!

acatcalledjohn · 05/04/2015 23:37

Fearne is definitely the best looking one. She could have said Chloe 'Duckface' Sims.

Still, I would look in the mirror before disowning your mother. If she's right then you have a chance to rectify this likeness (even if Fearne, it's TOWIE, which = BAD), though this means you'd forever be indebted to her.

Seriouslyffs · 05/04/2015 23:40

I looked her up and she's pretty. But Shock at your description of her.
You did know she's real, right? She's not a made up soap opera character. And without knowing you've just written some pretty nasty stuff about her.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 06/04/2015 00:00

Jacobs mum. I think Gemma is very pretty. Just because she has. Bit of weight on her doesn't make her ugly. What shallow immature views you have for an adult!
OP I'd hate of someone said I looked like someone. It could be Cheryl (what's her name now?) but I'd still be insulted as Iikd having my individuality, plus Iikd to think that when they made me they broke the mould

ephemeralfairy · 06/04/2015 00:38

Jeez. I think Ferne is very pretty, nice smile, she dresses stylishly, nothing too revealing, she's not had a boob job and doesn't wear as much makeup as some of the others.
Yeah her nose is on the large side, but it gives her face a character that the plastic ones don't have. I would be more than happy to be told I look like her!!
'Some rough bitch' is a really nasty thing to say!

Patapouf · 06/04/2015 00:38

She's actually pretty and you are rude.

Undeserved compliment from you mum by the sounds of things.

Latara · 06/04/2015 07:19

Most of the girls on TOWIE are quite pretty, and I personally wouldn't call Ferne McCann a 'rough bitch'.
