Olivia Fano says stunned strangers regularly stop her for selfies thinking she is the singer. The 20-year-old admits it’s an ‘amazing’ compliment to be likened to the pint-sized star
A retail worker looks so much like Sabrina Carpenter that she’s bombarded on nights out by punters who are desperate for selfies and to buy her drinks.
Olivia Fano, 20, from Southport, has been turning heads thanks to her uncanny resemblance to the Espresso singer, with starstruck men in awe of her looks.
Olivia admits that being compared to the pint-sized singer is an ‘amazing’ compliment and has led to a surge in male attention over the past year. It comes as Bonnie Blue sends Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kaye a cryptic message as he takes on his next Ibiza mission.

Despite currently being single, Olivia insists her vintage-inspired hairstyle and make-up were part of her look long before Sabrina made her big break.
“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,'” Olivia said.
“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, but 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 makeup. I do a blush lip-liner look,” Olivia added, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Her likeness to the performer certainly doesn’t go unnoticed on nights out, with eager blokes buying her drinks and begging for selfies.
Olivia said: “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 striking similarity to Sabrina has given Olivia’s self-esteem a massive boost and even transformed her love life. Olivia said: “It’s the first thing [men] 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 look like Sabrina Carpenter?’.”
She added: “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.”
