Michaela, who can charge up to £3,500 for a personal appearance, said: ‘I feel very blessed to look like Britney and to be living the life I am now. I bought my first house at the age of 19 when most people my age were living with their parents, working in TopShop and still going to college.

‘The best part is that I’m a huge Britney fan – it would be awful if I had to impersonate someone I hated. If I ever get to meet her I just want to thank her for giving me this life and for looking so much like me.’
