TikTok fans wrongly believed a student had accidentally met her 'twin' who she'd been separated at birth from.
Amy appeared keen to tell the world about the duo's incredible discovery after moving into college accommodation together.
She answered a challenge on that platform that asked users to say something about themselves ‘that sounds false but is 100 per cent true’.
Amy posted a photo with what appeared to be her identical twin, who she didn't name, alongside her.
Then in a video that has been viewed more than a million times, she said: "I think I met my long lost twin at university and she’s my flatmate.
"This is us, why do we look the same!"
She then added in the comments: "Imagine how we both reacted when we both moved into our flat the same day and met for the first time."
She then said that the pair have not yet taken a DNA test but plan to find out for sure soon.
The young women said they were born one day apart – with one user wondering if one arrived just before midnight.
Users were not only quick to point out the similarities between the students.
And many said their story was a lot like hit film The Parent Trap.
The 1998 movie starring Lindsay Lohan was all about two twins who were pulled apart at birth by their divorced parents.
They came face-to-face after attending the same summer camp.
In a reference to the film, one user joked: "Does her dad make wine and your mum design wedding dresses?"
But Amy has spoken to The Mirror to set the record straight - and explained that the duo are certainly NOT twins.
She said: "I love Tiktok and try to keep my followers entertained by posting on TikTok every day, always coming up with new, fun and original content."
"I use Tiktok to post new songs I'm working on and covers, and I often go live, I answer questions and sing songs on request. It's all just fun and has helped me and my followers through the pandemic.
"The 'twin' video was another one of those random videos, but it absolutely blew up. I gained followers and made a follow up video about taking a DNA test as suggested in so many comments.
"Of course we do look alike but we never actually thought we were twins!
"It was hilarious when we first saw each other the day we moved into our flat, seeing how alike we look, and then finding out our birthdays are a day apart.
"We’re really good friends and we are finding this whole thing so funny, and will definitely laugh at all the articles in years to come.
"Something I’ve learnt from all this is to be very careful what you post on social media and also not everything you read is true!!
"The stories have been developing from article to article with mind boggling information that even I’m finding quite convincing!
"This was definitely a lesson that anything you post on the internet can be used (and twisted) without permission. I really want to warn everyone to please be careful with what you post online!
"My “twin” and I will not be doing a DNA test. The video was for entertainment purposes only!
"However, I’m glad it made people smile in a time like this, and “The Parent Trap” will always be one of my favourite movies!"
Back in In October, The South China Morning Post reported that two women from Indonesia discovered they were twins thanks to TikTok.
Trena Mustika came across a video posted by her sister, Treni Fitri Yana – and investigated after she was taken aback by how similar they looked.
