Teenager Terrie James, who bears an uncanny resemblance to last year's X Factor winner Leona Lewis, is hoping to win the Double Take contest, being held at Meadowhall tomorrow.

The shop assistant, aged 19, from Southend Road, Wybourn, is always being stopped in the street by Leona fans who think she is the real thing.

Proud mum Deborah Roberts, 42, said: "When Leona first came on to the X Factor people were ringing up and asking if it was Terrie. They couldn't believe how much they looked alike.

Shopaholic Terrie said: "If I win the competition I'm going to sell the prize, a car, and use the money to go on a spending spree."

All proceeds from the competition, sponsored by Hallam FM, go the Help a Hallam Child charity.
