And not least for St Annes mum Debbie Rosyln, who has really been looking forward to the release of the latest film in the Bridget Jones series – Bridget Jones’ Baby.

Debbie is hoping her likeness to American actress Renee Zellweger – who has reprised her role as Helen Fielding’s awkward diary-writing singleton, this time becoming a mother – will mean she gets more work as the celebrity’s double.

Debbie, who is 53, has been taken on again by the Susan Scott Look-a-life Agency in London, as a doppelgänger for the famous blonde star.

It’s not the first time she has worked as a look-a-like.

She has also been employed in the past for her likeness to former German tennis ace Steffi Graf.

It was when Debbie – who works at the Spire Fylde Coast Hospital, Blackpool – was out in a St Annes nightclub a few years before the release of the second Bridget Jones film, someone pointed out her other likeness – Renee.

She said: “I’ve been looking forward to the latest film coming out, because you can get some work from it.

“People see me and say I look like her.

“The patients and doctors sometimes do a double-take at work and if I ask who they think I look like, they say Bridget Jones.

“People still sometimes say to me I look like Steffi Graf too.

“I was in Greece and somebody came up to me and asked if I was her.”

It was when tennis champion Graf was at the height of her fame into the late 80s and early 90s, that a lifeguard at St Annes swimming pool mentioned to Debbie how much she resembled the well-known sportswoman.

Her look-a-like work saw her take part in photoshoots across the globe and star in promotional videos for a variety of products.

Debbie is hoping the release of the new Bridget Jones film – last Friday – could lead to further similar work.
