A glamorous mum says her youthful looks means she is constantly mistaken for her being her daughter's sister by strangers.
Since the age of 18, Lauren Marsden, now 20, has received endless comments from strangers that have confused her mum, Cheryl Jarvis, 41, as her sister.
The mum-of-two, from Bradford, West Yorkshire, says she is flattered by the comments and Lauren, who is an influencer, loves the mix-up too.
Cheryl, who works in project management and does personal training part-time, attributes her strict fitness regime and Botox injections for her youthful looks.
She said: "Strangers can't believe I'm Lauren's mum.

"They're always in shock and think we are siblings.
"It is flattering and a nice feeling to hear I look young.
"Lauren definitely helps keeps me young as she gives the best fashion advice and shows me what beauty products I should buy.
"Her makeup bag is much bigger than mine so I prefer it when she gives me a makeover.
"She is actually better at applying makeup than I am.
"It's great as she shows me what I should use and how to apply it!
"We've been sharing clothes since she was 18 as I got into fitness and have since maintained a size eight frame."
Cheryl admits to working out almost daily. She said: "I get up at 5am to work out - five times per week.
"I now help other women with a weights training programme as I am a personal trainer on the side.
"Fitness doesn't need to be hours on a treadmill and eating salad.
"I eat a balanced diet and drink the occasional glass of Prosecco on the weekend.
"Botox has helped maintain a youthful look.
"I've been getting it for about three years now but I've had a year off due to coronavirus lockdowns.
"I have also been using Dermalogica products for the last 20 years - they are pricey but definitely worth it."
Cheryl describes her daughter as her best friend.
She said: "We have a fantastic relationship.
"She tells me everything and vice versa.
"I had Instagram before Lauren but her account blew up when she started posting.
"She helps me master my posing techniques for it.
"I am so proud of her and chuffed that people think we are sisters."
