A mum-of-two says people threaten to call social services because of her massive eyebrows.
Defiant Sammie-Jo Hailford, 27, has painted on huge brows with liquid liner for almost a year.
She has since been trolled online and laughed at in the street - but she insists ‘bigger the brow, bigger the boy’, reports The Daily Star.

Sammie says: “People have said I shouldn’t be a mum and they are going to ring social services because of my eyebrows. It gets really extreme on the internet.
“They can call social services because I have nothing to hide. My eyebrows don’t determine whether I’m a good mother or not.”
The full-time mum, from Grimsby, started using liquid liner to make her brows bigger one year ago.
Explaining why, Sammie-Jo said: “I’m not a massive fan of beauty standards today.
“I feel like people are socially conditioned to only be beautiful if they are part of these standards and I just don’t agree with it and I don’t like it.
“I just like to make a statement and the brows do that for me. They started off normal size and they just got bigger over time and I just like to look different.
"It would be cool if they were Britain’s biggest eyebrows
“I’ve now created a hashtag called 'bigger the brow bigger, the boy' because it’s true and that’s what I say to my friends.”
Sammie-Jo was recently convinced by her pals to join TikTok - where she has acquired more than 75,000 followers in just four weeks.
And despite some cruel comments, she said her eye-popping look has attracted attention from men.
She said: “People say I don’t get boys because I have big eyebrows but that is wrong.
“I have had quite a few men in my inbox telling me I’m beautiful and saying they would date me.
“They always mention the eyebrows first, so maybe there is a fetish there.”
Strangers now approach her in public to ask about the eyebrows that take up most of her forehead.
Most people are polite, but she added: “Younger girls will laugh at me in the street, I’ve had that a couple of times but they do it between themselves.
“The worst comments are online. I get horrible comments about my makeup and they also take the mick out of my teeth too.”
Despite the trolling, Sammie-Jo is striving to use her platform to encourage people to be who they want to be.
She said: “I’ve not had the best life before now and I’ve suffered a lot of trauma and abuse from people.
“I guess the past three years I have found myself and I went through therapy to realise I am worthy no matter how I look or what I decide to do."
The mum added: “Trolling doesn’t affect me now. I’m trying to raise awareness to the fact that people can be different.
“That’s how I fight them back.”
