Britain’s Got Talent finalist Francine Lewis UNRECOGNISABLE after ‘bus driver’ Kim Kardashian transformation
IMPRESSIONIST Francine Lewis has transformed into Kim Kardashian for a new comedy sketch show – leaving her unrecognisable.
Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, which drops on ITVX on January 26, will see the 2013 Britain’s Got Talent finalist play South London ‘bus driver Kim Kardashian’.
Francine, 47, took to Instagram to show off her spitting image look to fans ahead of the new show.
She is set to be transformed into Keeping Up With The Kardashian’s star Kim, 42, for the upcoming programme.
The teaser snaps see the impressionist looking uncannily similar to the SKIMS creator, as she donned a bus-driver’s uniform.
Striking a pout for the camera, Francine pulled her hair back into a high ponytail as she opted for a high-glam look.
It comes as a far cry from her look on Britain’s Got Talent, where she often wore her dark locks down and dressed up in stylish gowns.
Sharing the snaps to her Instagram following, Francine wrote: “Had so much fun filming a new comedy show Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, coming very soon @itvxofficial.”
Supporters of the star were quick to react to her new look.
One person said: “Wow wow wow so beautiful,” as another wrote: “Stunning.”
A third added “You look like you’re dressed up to play a bus driver! Love you, Francine.”
Francine is set to star in a new comedy programme that uses deep fake artificial intelligence (AI) technology to replace the impressionists’ faces with real life celebrities.
The Hollywood stars will be ‘living together’ in a typical British neighbourhood.
Deep fake has been branded dangerous and unethical – especially when it comes to illegal activity.
Spencer Jones, creator of Deep Fake Neighbour Wars, said to The Guardian: “None of our heroes in our show are doing anything illegal. Everything is silly.
“If you turn us on halfway through, and think that the real Harry Kane has really had his patio tile cracked by Stormzy, you might need to have a little look at yourself.”
Talking about the technology’s limitations, he added that they “couldn’t have people behind windows looking out” or it to be raining.
Viewers who tune in will be able to see notable figures, including two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray take on the role of a nurse and broadcaster Lorraine Kelly as Andy’s tattooed mum.
Elsewhere, rapper Nicki Minaj and actor Tom Holland move in together and go head-on with annoying neighbour, Meta chairman and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
