oh, has anyone ever told you you look just like.... (and it's not good...)

DELIA SMITH.

I mean, what????? How could she? I shouldn't have come into work today if I'd known someone was going to say something like that to me

And the worst thing is that someone else once told me this (about 10 years ago) and I've never got over it. She has always been a byword for 'eeugh' in my mum's book. So I've just been told (for the second time) that I look like someone who my mum has always said is revolting. Great.

Jeez. What can I do so that I look less like Delia bleedin' Smith?

Given that I have short dark hair and am just ordinary looking. And I'm 37.

I'm gutted. Really, quite seriously upset.

i was told i looked like emily from emmerdale thanks!and this was by cleaner in hospital about a day after dc3 was born.i knew i looked bad but emily!!!

The lead singer from 'the beautiful south'....and yes it is a bloke and no im not![shocked]

I'd just lost loads of weight and was feeling fab when my FIL announced to assembled extended family that I now resembed ... Michael Jackson. As I am white I'm assuming he wasn't comparing me to the rather attractive child youth which Jacko ONCE WAS, but the forty year old version complete with wonky nose etc. Hmmm.

Bugger i knew I shouldn't do it again with a different pic - this time I am 63% Christopher Lloyd (when he was in the Addams Family!!) and 58% Frank Rijkaard! I really must get a bag for my head.

When I was working the patients used to always say I was exactly like Lorraine Kelly They seemed to think it was a good thing.....maybe if you are ill you would want Lorraine looking after you, I was gutted though

Tara Palmer Tomkinson

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

Peppermint Patty, repeatedly
Darlene from Roseanne, repeatedly

Trade you Winona Ryder and even Monica Lewinsky in a flash

Depending on my age, weight and hairstyle, I've been told I look like anything from Helena Christianson to a cast member of Prisoner Cell Block H. Which to believe? Which to believe??

I once got told I look like Pob

Yes the puppet who spat the telly.

Top that anyone!

me too ruby rioja! but do you look like me?! now there's a test

The youngest one from Hanson

Fotunately as he was then and not as he is now (working on the assumption that it's better on balance to look like a twelve-year-old boy than a twenty-something man).

MyHeritage claims:

Heather Graham 72%
Michelle Pfeiffer 70%
Martina McBride 68%
Kate Bush 64%
Christian Slater 62%
Lauri Ylonen 61%
Julianne Moore 60%
Kate Moss 60%

Sadly I think the Hanson comparison was more accurate...

my ex texted me to say i look like thandie newton & some woman out of scrubs but my mother kindly told me i look like michael jackson hahahahahahaha!

I get Amy Winehouse all the time which frightens me as she is a crackhead junkie. However i am thinking of using it to my advantage and becoming a lookalike. I even had someone come up to me last week and start singing Valerie! It was funny but i do think she is bloody ugly!!

I have been likened, over the years, to Bridgit Bardot, Goldie Hawn, and Suzi Quatro.

I think Ms Quatro is a bit nearer the mark!

dd2 looked at this picture of boy george and asked if it was me.

dp was roffling.

I was stern-looking

One of my mum's friends said I looked like Uma Thurman (yay) . But then again someone also told me a bore a distinct resemblance to Heather Mills (this was during her GMTV insane ranting period as well). Cheers, pal.

one of my ex's said i reminded him of christina ricci. I have also had a few sophie ellis bexter comments. I think i look like neither

LOL Squonk. Do you really?

I have had Natalie Robb (scottish actress) a couple of times and Lisa Riley once. The latter distressed me somewhat as you can imagine.

These two people don't look anything alike, but during the apprentice, two people told me I looked like Helen Speight, which to start off with I wasn't happy about, but I ended up being flattered.

AND, even though she must be 20 yrs older than me, an actress called Sally Field who was the Mum in Mrs Doubtfire.

Wow, sophie Ellis Bexter..! I'd love to look like her.

weeteeny - no. I don't

at least I don't think I do
