Woman, 24, reveals 44-year-old mum is often mistaken for being sister

Woman, 24, reveals 44-year-old mum is often mistaken for being sister While they may be twenty years apart in age, this lookalike mother-and-daughter duo are frequently told they look like sisters - and it's easy to see why.  For 24-year-old Holly Barry, who lives in Weston Turville near to Aylesbury, being told she looks like her mother is the biggest compliment - because hairdresser Jo, 44, looks half her age. 'I love it,' says Holly. 'It’s nice to see what I will most likely look like in 20 years time and she’s so beautiful, it’s a huge compliment.''People always comment on how good she looks for her age and how nice it is to have a young mum, so I hope I age just as well.'Jo added: 'I love looking like my beautiful daughter, it’s a real compliment.'And Jo, a mother-of-three, doesn't just look youthful, she's young at heart, too - and often goes clubbing with her daughter. 'I go clubbing with mum as often as I do with my friends,' said Holly. 'My main group of girls are based in Worcester so when I come home we often tie in a night my mum is out, or she will come and join in with us.''We also went to Marbella for my hen do in May where there were 12 of us in total and mum was the only "older" person.

We went to a pool party at Sisu and we all just let our hair down, it really was the best time.'And having a young-looking mum means Holly often witnesses her getting chatted up when she walks into a room.'I find it really flattering,' said Holly. 'I’m her biggest cheerleader. It's usually men of a similar age but there have been younger guys that have showed a keen interest and have said how much they find mum attractive.''It’s so nice to know that she gets that regularly when she’s out and it’s one of the biggest compliments for her too as she works hard to look good.'      Holly, who works in digital PR, was first told the pair looked alike by her mother's friend - and the comments kept on coming.'The first time was by my mum’s friend Anne-Marie, an old school friend who had popped round to see us at our family home who said: "Don’t you just look the spitting image of your mum, doesn’t she Jo?!" she explained.'She’d say this to my mum as if she couldn’t believe the similarities. Then we first started receiving comments when I was at university so I was around 17-18-years-old and it has continued ever since.' 'People always confuse us on the phone as we sound so alike and there isn’t a large difference in height either, so I do get the "I thought it was your sister" comment regularly.'With their dark brown hair, eyes and glowing skin, it's no surprise the duo are often mistaken for one another.  'Looks-wise, we have the same face shape,' explained Holly. 'That is the biggest similarity. Also, we have the same smile and definitely the same creases under the eyes when we properly smile or laugh.' She continued: 'I think because our hair is a sim
