A 57-YEAR-OLD woman has spent £40,000 (US$57,000) and endured extensive cosmetic surgery to look like her 35-year-old daughter.

    Janet Horrocks, from Burnley, Lancashire, Britain, already shares the same peroxide blonde hair and size eight figure as her daughter Jane Cunliffe, and says they even get mistaken for sisters.

    But not content with sharing genes with Jane, she has taken it one step further — and her painstaking image overhaul so far includes a nose job, eye lift, veneers, Botox and fillers to keep up with her only daughter — much to Jane’s disdain.

    For while Janet is adamant that she will never give up in her quest for eternal youth, Jane is firmly anti-surgery and fears that one day she will look older than her plastic-obsessed mom.

    Single Janet, who split from Jane’s dad in 2002, said, “My goal was to look like Jane because I created her, so really she had a similar look to me and I didn’t have a long way to go.

    “I just had to do a bit of playing about with my body and face to look younger.” She added, “She got her looks from me in the first place. All I am doing is just maintaining that look.”

    Janet began her transformation in 2001 and went on to have two boob jobs, an eye lift, a nose job and veneers — totaling £20,000.

    She even lost two stone and went on to get hair extensions, laser resurfacing to her face, and eyebrow tattooing — as well as Botox and regular fillers — which has cost her a further £20,000 over the years.

    Janet recalled, “I’d put on weight and I felt dowdy and unattractive. I remember looking at Jane and thinking ‘I used to have a figure like yours.’”

    “Time had taken its toll on my breasts and I felt like I needed some help to reverse the effects of time.”

    Janet, an accountant, spent £8,000 on two breast implant surgeries, taking her from a 34A to an E cup.

    She slimmed from a size 14 to an 8 and started having Botox and fillers costing £500 a time.

    At first Janet tried to keep her intentions under wraps — and Jane was not impressed when her mom eventually came clean.

    Janet said, “When I first told her my new look was based on her, she was shocked and couldn’t understand why a mom would want to look like her daughter. She was quite annoyed at first.”(SD-Agencies)
