The 20-year-old says she's mobbed by men who think she's Sabrina

The 20-year-old admits it's an 'amazing' compliment to be likened to the pint-sized hitmaker, admitting she attracts even more attention on nights out from lustful blokes.
The similarity has definitely ramped things up in the dating department, with 5ft 6in Olivia admitting 'a lot more' guys have asked her out in the last year.
Olivia first noticed the resemblance, including her hairstyle and make-up, when her sister pointed it out just as the songstress had her big break with Espresso.
But Olivia, who is currently single, insists she already rocked the vintage-inspired look before Sabrina burst onto the scene, citing Marilyn Monroe as her style inspiration.
Olivia said: "I do see the resemblance, I noticed it two years ago and my sister mentioned it, and I thought 'I kind of do look like her.'
"Since then it's been constant, especially over the last year. I've had it in club bathrooms, supermarkets, coffee shops, pretty much everywhere.
"People automatically think I did the hair to look like her, I've had this hairstyle for years. I think that's the first thing people notice.
"We have quite similar facial features, the eyes, the eyebrows, the nose, and the way I do my make-up. I do a blush lip-liner look.
"I do think I resemble her a lot more when I have make-up on, it's just my style. I had a brief obsession with Marilyn Monroe and got into lipstick."
"I just started doing heavier make-up and found the lip liner and I've used the same products for two years now.

"I probably get it every other day. I get it quite a lot when I'm at work and when I go to Manchester or Liverpool or on a night out, I do get it a lot.
"I was at a club in Manchester and this boy really thought I was her.
"He kept buying me drinks and was telling everyone so then everyone else started buying me drinks.
"I had to give some of the drinks to my friends because it was too much.
"When I was in Prague this guy turned around and gasped really loud because he thought I was her. I was in this yellow babydoll dress so it was very her style.
"I get a lot of people stop me in the street, just to say 'oh my God'. I do notice people looking at me and then they have to explain themselves.
"I've had quite a few people ask me for photos, when I went to Leeds last year I got a lot of photos then.
"I don't mind it, it's an amazing compliment."
The resemblance to Sabrina has helped increase Olivia's confidence as she is now used to talking to strangers all the time.
Olivia said: "When people would look at me on the street I thought 'I have something on my face', but I don't get as anxious anymore because I know people just look at me and think I look like Sabrina Carpenter.
"It's the first thing they bring up. It's almost like the perfect pick-up line, because they just come up and say it.
"A lot more boys have asked me out in the last year and when I go on dates it's the first thing they say.
"I did date a guy and one of the first things he said to me was, 'has anyone told you that you look like Sabrina Carpenter?'."
Now Olivia, who has been a huge Sabrina fan since her Disney channel days, said she even answers to the name as so many people call her that.
Olivia said: "I'm a massive fan of hers, even since Disney channel. Next time she does a tour I'm definitely going to get tickets.
"I'm quite a chatty and bubbly person. I'm usually shy around new people but now that I get so many people coming up to me and talking to me, I'm definitely more confident.
"People are automatically nice because they have a compliment to say first thing. I always meet really nice people."
"They feel like they know me. People call me Sabrina and I just answer to it now."

I won big on the lottery and I'm sick of hate from jealous men – I earned this cash, they need to get over it
A LOTTO winner has hit back at bitter trolls who have tried to mock her appearance and windfall - insisting she's "earned" her new life. Olivia Love, who was previously on Universal Credit, scooped £10,000-a-month for a year alongside hubby Kevin last month. 2 Olivia Love won big on the lottery in June Credit: TikTok/@mrsolivialove 2 She's been trolled over her £10,000-a-month for a year prize Credit: ALAN PEEBLES PHOTOGRAPHY The 36-year-old, from Glasgow, has been able to quit her job at a local supermarket, and hire a cleaner and gardener. Thanks to her massive tax-free win, she's also launched her own business as a wedding content creator. Before this, the mum-of-four was earning just £800-a-month working in a supermarket's customer service kiosk. She was on benefits to subsidise her eye-watering £1,800-a-month childcare costs and "dreaded" her council tax bill coming through. Since going public with her win, Olivia has been giving social media users an inside peek at the life of a lottery winner. She's been branded "embarrassing" and cruelly body shamed over her videos, with trolls even hoping she's left jobless and without a penny at the end of her 12-month windfall. And she revealed it's mostly hateful men who resent her big win. In a TikTok clip (@mrsolivialove), she said: "When I won the lottery, I knew it would change my life. But I didn't expect how loud the internet would get. "With the win came judgement, assumptions and a lot of hate. Especially from men who can't stand to see a woman win. "Just for being proud of my life. For spreading hope and positivity. For being proud of what this win does for my children. EXCL Woman who dumped boyfriend after winning £1m scratchcard jackpot splashes cash with NEW man - while leaving ex with nothing "Almost every hateful comment I get comes from men. When a woman is confident, when she shares her success, some men can't handle it. If a man posted this win, would you call him embarrassing? Or would it be inspiring?" But the proud mum has refused to let the trolls get to her or stop her from sharing her lotto life. She insisted: "I'm not here to be small, quiet or even easy to digest. I'm here because I earned this. "If that makes you uncomfortable, that's not my problem. "[And] there are women out here choosing love. Choosing celebration. Choosing to lift each other up. "These are the voices I hear loudest. This is the energy I'm listening to. "The ones who said you deserve it. The ones that laughed with me when the trolls came. The ones that reminded me that my win isn't just about money. It's about joy and freedom and sharing moments that matter. "Thank you to every kind woman that showed up." LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT Set For Life offers a top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched. Players can also win £10,000 a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers. Olivia revealed she did six lucky dips at £1.50 each on the app, with one of them bagging the second tier prize of the cash for a year. She's never played her own numbers, explaining: 'I've always had the fear that if you did play your own numbers the one time you didn't play it, that would be the time your numbers came in.' She was shocked when she received an email from The National Lottery team at 12.33am on May 16 June that changed everything for this couple. The winning numbers in the draw were: 03, 27, 42, 45, 46, plus Life Ball 06. Before she won, she had been playing sporadically for four to five months and would play when she had the 'notion to do it.' And despite winning, she still hasn't stopped buying lucky dips 'from time to time.' DOWNSIDE While buying items like her hubby's car has brought her 'so much joy', there are some downsides to the winnings. Olivia has had people message her to beg for money, with one saying: 'Can I have like £20,000 to pay my debts off?' As a result, the Lottery winner said: "I've got my dms very closed.' Since going public with her win, Olivia has hilariously joked about wiping away fake tears with £20 notes in response to cruel comments from trolls. However, she said it has changed her life for the better, saying: 'I feel like I can be more present now. Enjoy more moments. 'The stress I felt before stopped me enjoying the little things.'

Inside Superdrug's brand new beauty playground in Glasgow – even Gen Alpha will love £2.50 buys
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HIGH street store Superdrug has launched a brand new concept in Glasgow - and skincare fans are going to love it. The cosmetic powerhouse has introduced a Beauty Playground to its Braehead store. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 New and viral brands are now in store 4 Superdrug bosses hope people will love seeing all the lines in person 4 There's a play table to test all the products Launched first in London's Westfield Stratford store earlier this month, it brings some of the most sought-after, viral and exciting up-and-coming brands that have previously only been available online, into the shop. And it means customers can smell, try and fall in love with some amazing lines, such as Dhelicious and Mallows Beauty. Even Gen Alpha beauty fans can pick up a bargain, with the Daise range starting from £2.50 for a pretty flower lip balm. As well as exploring must-have brands, shoppers will also be able to access beauty services, receive expert advice and create content while they shop. We spoke to Simon Comins, Superdrug's Chief Operating Officer, at last night's launch in the Glasgow store. He said there will be more testers in Beauty Playground than anywhere else, so customers can really play with the products. And he added: " The whole idea of Beauty Playground is that we're trying to create, in this aisle, a combination of new brands and brands that we have in the store that are cosmetics and that skincare customers buy, but if they don't go down the oral care aisle, they might not find, like High Smile. "So we have High Smile in here, Starface, we put a serum stand in. It's just to bring that whole beauty immersion together." One of the most fun new additions to the store is the 'Try Me Table' where customers can play, test and experiment with the latest products. And they have included social stations, complete with ring lights and smartphone attachments, for the creation of high-quality beauty content. Make-up fans race to snap up £5 Superdrug dupe of viral Huda powder, and save themselves £30 in the process Simon said: "We have a 40 per cent market share on make-up. The amount of people that come in, sit down and understand the product. They want to test the foundation. They want to test their lipstick shade. And we've never had a facility like it. "We've opened one up in the Stratford store and it's one of the busiest areas because people are just engaging so much with it." To launch Beauty Playground, Superdrug is partnering with a string of innovative new and exclusive brands, including the Korean inspired and TikTok famous Smuuti. Simon said: 'The beauty shopper is crying out for immersive beauty experiences, but often they find that what they encounter is either temporary or not keeping pace with the latest innovations the industry has to offer. "With Beauty Playground, we're reimagining what a joyful and innovative beauty experience could and should be, whilst offering a space where customers can discover, learn, experiment, create, and connect with brands and services that meet their unique needs. "But most of all, at Superdrug we believe beauty should be fun, so we can't wait to welcome customers to their nearest Beauty Playground store, where they can experience and enjoy Superdrug like never before.'
