Claire Leeson has gone all out to look like her idol Kim Kardashian. The 25-year old woman from Essex, England, has spent $30,000 and counting on cosmetic work (butt padding, breast job, teeth whitening, nails, shoes, hair extensions and make up).

She's now $10,000 in debt, but has never been happier.

Her obsession with Kim began after she started watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians and being bullied at school about her looks.

"Basically, it started when I left school, when I was 17. Friends told me that I had a resemblance to her, I watched the show and I realized I had the same amount of siblings as her and the same kind of arguments going on," she told the This Morning show. "I really thought that she was so beautiful and I want to look like this. I started to work on myself to look more like her. I started getting my teeth whitened, then I wanted my boobs enhanced. I wear bum padding which I order online. It is like a silicon base with pants. I wear them with bodycon dresses. My bum is never going to be as big as Kim's! I’ve researched implants, and I’m not keen on what they would do to my body. I’m looking to have fat injected from other parts of my body instead."

"I sort of feel like in one way I’m living in a fantasy, in a dream world. Even though it isn't real, it is real enough for me. I feel unstoppable when I get my Kimmy on. What I’m doing might not be right, but it is what is best for me for the time being. Even though it is off the back of someone else, I have built enough confidence to love myself a little bit."
