BEING BRITNEY'S LOOKALIKE HAS EARNED ME £300K

A former waitress who quit serving tables to become a professional Britney lookalike has told how her incredible likeness has earned her £300,000 as a full time doppelganger. Britney Spears lookalike Michaela Weeks considers herself 'Lucky' because like the international pop starlet she is currently living the celebrity lifestyle. At the age of 24, Michaela has spent tens of thousands on sports cars, owns two houses and spends her evenings lapping up the life of luxury in her own hot tub or snuggling up to her pedigree chihuahua, Charlie. She has travelled the world for lookalike assignments, starred in a Kaiser Chiefs video and even posed for renowned celebrity spoof photographer Alison Jackson. Michaela, who can command up to £3,500 for a personal appearance, recently returned from Dubai where she spent three weeks performing at the Emirate's annual retail festival.
