A mum of two has been trolled and told she is 'to fit to be a mum' after having 'Britain's biggest eyebrows'.
With a growing popularity on TikTok, Sammie-Jo Hailford, from Grimsby, has been painting her over exaggerated eyebrows for nearly a year.
Despite being trolled online and laughed at on the street, she insists, bigger the brow, bigger the boy’.

She says that the worst abuse she has faced so far is being threatened with social services being called on her because of the way she looks.
Speaking to the Daily Star, the mum-of-two said: “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.”
Sammie-Jo started using liquid liner to make her brows bigger one year ago to rebel against the average beauty standards shown in mainstream media.
Explaining why, the mum of two 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 joined TikTok after being convinced by her friends and she quickly 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.”
