When I was working and very much younger I was likened by my patients to Gill Gasgoine - a detective on a programme called the Gentle Touch. A bit later a dear sweet older gentleman called me Gina Lollobrigida! I think he was half blind.

Although rather unfortunately, my sister’s husband looks like Fred West.

No, but I never recognise celebrities, anyway, so it is possible someone does but I just do not know.

For many years lots of people said my brother looks like Cliff Richard. He is in his early 70s but looks younger than 50, his hair has never gone grey and he is as slim as he was as a teenager. My SIL moans that people must think who is this old women he is with! People call him Peter Pan but sad he has early onset Alzheimers.

Their son like Tom Selleck, and the daughter ?

I look like uncle Fester, these days.
Before that, all kinds of different people, none of whom look alike have been suggested to me.

DH was was once mistaken for Alex Ferguson, we were staying in a hotel and someone from another table sent over a whisky for 'Alex'. When we got home I told son about the mistake and said his Dad looked nothing like him, he promptly produced a photo of Alex and his wife sitting at a function and blow me they could have been us grin

In my younger days, couple of people commented that I looked abit like Angela Rippon, (without her famous legs mind you), and more recently like Jenny Agutter. (We both have many wrinkles ;) I wish I looked more like holly wilhouby or Kate - duchess of Cambridge…

My Gs who is 5 must think I look like Ruth Langsford.

A couple of Christmas’s ago we had him for the usual one day a week child minding. The TV was on and Ruth and Eamonn were presenting This Morning. Gs and I were sat on the sofa having elevenses. He looked at the screen and then back to me and said “is that you Grandma?” Oh bless him - if only I was half as glamorous ?
