JOB: The mum-of-one now makes a living out of looking like Russell Brand's ex
Suzy, from Maidstone, Kent, looks so much like the Roar singer, even her boyfriend Paul can't tell them apart.
He often mistakes photos of Russell Brand's ex-wife for his own missus.
She said: "I'd always had grief over the way I looked, when I was in school people used to say I looked like a frog.
"After I had my little boy, David, now seven, I put on loads of weight, and I didn't really ever have time to bother with my appearance.
"But when I broke up with my partner at the time, I decided it was time for a new me.
"I dyed my hair black, and started making more of an effort with my make up.
"I hated covering my size 16 body in baggy clothes, so I was determined to lose weight so I could wear slinky dresses that I loved.
"I uploaded pictures of my weight loss and dramatic new image on instagram, and I got loads of strangers sending me messages telling me that I looked like Katy Perry.
"At first, I really couldn't see it myself, but when I started slipping into size 10 dresses, I began to notice it more - and thought why not use it to my advantage!"
Suzy now works for Susan Scott Lookalikes, but admits pretending to be Katy for a job can sometimes be a pain.
She has been harassed on nights out with her pals and even yelled at by Brand fans after the A-list couple split.
She added: "I do think it's funny when people do a second take when I walk past - they're probably trying to figure out what Katy Perry is doing in Kent.
"A bloke stopped me in a bar once and asked if he could buy me a drink - when I said no thanks, he yelled at me: 'No wonder Russell Brand dumped you!'
"Even my boyfriend, Paul, sometimes struggles. He'll see new photos of Katy on the internet and say: 'When did you do this shoot?'"
DOPPELGANGER: Even Suzy's own boyfriend gets confused
