LOOKALIKE: Lucy

Sex change Lucy is just Terry happy

By Keith Gladdis, 08/02/2009

TRANSSEXUAL Lucy Smith told yesterday how she is delighted she's being dubbed England captain John Terry's double, declaring: "I love looking like a millionaire!"

Chelsea ace Terry, 28, has become an internet laughing stock after rival supporters spotted his uncanny likeness to former barman Lucy-real name Sean Smith-who is undergoing hormone treatment to change sex.

But last night call centre worker Lucy, 23, revealed she has been called 'Terry's Twin' for years-and thinks it's hilarious.

She said: "Now people seem to think it is more funny because I'm Lucy and I get jibes about 'You're John Terry in a wig' and stuff. I just laugh it off. I mean, if I'm going to look like anyone in the world, why not a millionaire?"

And she brushed off the cruel taunts about her on footie fansites, adding: "The best thing is, I can't even stand football.

"It's absolutely rubbish."

It takes a lot of courage no matter what the end result. Lucy probably looks completely different to the photo by now, which is what hormone treatment does, even after a comparatively short space of time. Good luck.
