A Kate Moss lookalike who caused a social media storm after posing as the supermodel on the day of Chanel's Manchester fashion show has spoken of her life as a professional doppelganger.

Denise Ohnona caused a commotion in Manchester last week after she was spotted in Aldi and sat outside a coffee shop on the day of Chanel's Métiers d’Art show. The 43-year-old makes a living from impersonating Moss, including in Duran Duran's 40th anniversary music video.

The mum-of-two, who lives in Ormskirk, began working full-time as a Kate Moss lookalike when she was 37, after a family member secretly sent her picture and contact details to Lookalikes Talent Agency, run by David Beckham double Andy Harmer.

She appeared on season 2 of Lookalikes, a fly-on-the-wall reality TV show which
