Grandma becomes Michael Jackson
50-year-old sheds five stone to impersonate her idol.
There was joy in the British newspapers last week with the revelation that Christine Guntrip, a grandmother in her fifties, has just lost five stone in order to live her dream - working as a Michael Jackson impersonator. The only problem is that she still doesn't look anything like him.
Undeterred, the Basildon resident has taken her first booking to perform as Jacko, complete with red and black leather costume and of course, a single white glove.
'I could always sing, as I am semi-professionally trained' explained Guntrip. 'When I lost the weight, I had a new-found confidence and found I could perform a lot of his moves. I can even moonwalk'.
Let's just hope there are a lot of partially-sighted people hanging round in Basildon at the moment.
