Cassie Smith grew up being constantly told that she looked like Sonia from EastEnders - she joins us for an extra special makeover.

Comparisons to EastEnders' Sonia Fowler have driven Cassie, 29, to spend around £12,000 to try and create her own individual style. In the last 10 years Cassie has spent £3,460 on hairstyles, £6,000 on clothes and £2,160 on make-up, usually to make herself look as different as possible.

During last December's News Review Cassie received an unusual offer as Holly invited her on to the show for a makeover, and she joins us today to talk about growing up as a Sonia-alike, before our crack team of stylists give her a makeover to help her look and feel like a new woman in 2012!
