I get Kate Middleton. I can sort of see it if she was 25 years older with a bad case of middle aged spread.

Janet Jackson

As a child people said I looked like Hannah Martin from neighbours.

My sister once told me that I could look like Billy Piper if I made more of an effort with my appearance!

I used to get told Emma Watson, but this was around the first few Harry Potter films when we were both around 11ish. Now I don’t really get any comparisons that I’m aware of, but I’m very overweight and not many celebrities are I suppose. I did hear Sarah Michelle geller a few times when I was younger too.

In my 20’s was told I looked like Billie Piper. We both had blonde bobs & gummy/toothy smiles! Also Cameron Diaz. On my wedding day, in v tourist-heavy London location, we had people stopping to take photos of us having our wedding photos taken because some woman shouted “OMG It’s Cameron Diaz” 😂 No idea who they thought DH was 😂

My 3 year god daughter said I looked like a ‘stripy Mr Blobby’! My best friend insisted it was a compliment as she had been showing videos on you tube, and she loved him!

When I was much younger I used to get told I looked like Julia Roberts a lot I had a weekend job in a shop and all the American tourists used to say it. Also had Sandra Bullock, Shania Twain and others. Can’t see it myself but not complaining!!

No matter what age I am, I consistently get Hilary Duff. (Totally outs my age but) I was a huge fan of Lizzie Maguire as a girl in the 90's (maybe she rubbed off on me?) so secretly thrilled when I'm told this!

I've also had people approach me on two seperate nights out when I was in my mid twenties (it was the same summer) convinced I was the Hollyoaks actress Georgie Porter?! I've also had Goldie Hawn (I was 21 when I was told this so a bit perplexed) and Emma Stone - but only in spiderman Grin
