'Creepy' £40 doll has shoppers in stitches as they think it looks like Boris Johnson

A doll which was spotted in the window of a charity shop in Sheffield has gone viral after onlookers noticed it looked like Boris Johnson. The figurine appeared in the Mind charity shop and was going for a whopping £40, after being knocked down from £60.

Lauren Misiukanis, 37, snapped a photo of the doll as she walked past and even had to double-take as she immediately saw what the doll looked like with its mop of blond hair and a rather toothy grin.

With quite a standout look, ex-PM Boris Johnson is known across the world for his shaggy hair and unkempt look which is why this doll has drawn so many comparisons to him over the last few days.

She said: "I honestly did a double take when we walked past, for a brief moment, I thought it was a real child."

The doll has received a raft of attention online since the photo was posted, with many likening it to Boris Johnson. Others think it looks like Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and some even think it resembles Donald Trump.

One person wrote in reply to Lauren's snap: "Buy it and just place it in someone's room while they're out. Best £40 ever spent."

While another social media user added: "I think I've been cursed just looking at it."

Some social media attention went slightly scarier as another person penned: "Trump and Chucky's love child".

A snap of the doll had been posted to the Facebook group 'C**p you find in Charity Shops' and has since got a lot more attention with another person likening it to another well-known Tory- Michael Fabricant.

The person wrote: "It's a rare example of the Michael Fabricant action figure."

While another wrote: "I saw that today. Very creepy."
