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."
