Teen red-faced after dad copies all her Facebook selfies with hilarious results

A teenager has been left red-faced after her dad decided to copy all of her selfies on Facebook - to the delight of her followers.

For the past year, Riley Anderson, 14, cannot log onto Facebook without receiving a notification saying that her dad, Jonathan Russell, 33, had posted a photo on her profile.

The photos, which happen on a weekly basis, show Jonathan mimicking his daughters selfies - copying them right down to the duck pout.

Despite Jonathan's attempts to be an embarrassing dad, Riley, from Vancouver, Canada, says she finds it hilarious and anticipates her father's comment every time she posts a selfie.

Riley said: "He's been doing this for almost a year now and I can't help but find it hilarious.

"At first it was a bit embarrassing, but me and my dad have a pretty funny relationship and are often making each other laugh.

"He's always making jokes and is really good at putting a smile on my face when I'm sad - so I find it comforting to see his comments now.

"It's become our thing, and even my friends find it funny too - they get excited to see his comments.

"It's definitely become a tradition and I wouldn't expect to post a story without him making fun of it with his own rendition!"

Jonathan, a construction worker, said: "I grew up in the 90s and we didn't take 100 selfies a day - so I think teenagers these days are pretty silly.

"I was aiming to be an embarrassing dad when I did it, and then it became a bit of a routine.

"At first it was just some light hearted poking fun at my daughter - but now that everyone loves it, it's my thing.

"I'm definitely going to keep doing it every time she posts a selfie!"
