Meet the 'real life Barbie' who models her clothes, car and 'DreamHouse' on the iconic doll - but worries her obsession will put Mr Right off.
Katie Loveday, 18, has dressed in all pink for as long as she can remember - and had a big collection of around 100 Barbie and Bratz dolls.
But she stopped wearing her favourite colour in secondary school - after feeling pressure to dress like her friends and classmates.
She went back to her staple style once she left school in 2020 - now, she feels more like herself, but is worried her extreme look will shock potential partners.
Katie, who is self-employed and runs her own clothing business, from Sleaford, Lincolnshire, said: “Since I can remember, I’ve always had loads of Barbies.
"I always got them as presents for birthdays - and Bratz dolls too.
