Kaylan Mahomes/TwitterMost of us were scratching our heads when the above image appeared on social media, but nobody was quite as confused by This Morning‘s pitiful effort yesterday.
The ITV show attempted to jump on the bandwagon by presenting a segment which included a mother and daughter who supposedly get mistaken for teenage sisters.
They even tweeted about their so-called struggle.
Are they sisters or mother and daughter? We can’t tell! #MotherLikeDaughter https://t.co/yKXqffBGz3 pic.twitter.com/BlfWC9bcys

Unfortunately for Donna Galt, the public were far more capable of correctly identifying age than whoever runs ITV‘s social media.
Sure, they dress the same and sport a similar hairstyle, but sisters they most definitely ain’t.

This Morning/ITVThe show may wish it hadn’t turned to social media for a second opinion.
The replies were all pretty damning.

@itvthismorning y’all outta your gahdamn minds. The mother is on the left. They don’t look the same damn age.

@itvthismorning Seriously?! The mum on the left looks about 25 years older :-/

Harsh, but pretty accurate.
@itvthismorning they only lookalike because they’re trying to. Bit desperate if you ask me & why is a 14 yr old so heavily made up anyway?

@itvthismorning the age gap is obvious. The poor Mum is a bit deluded sadly

@itvthismorning The mum is doing way too much to look young she looks awful . Even Stevie Wonder can tell the difference

Still harsh. Still accurate.

A few people argued that the concept just doesn’t work with white women.

Well, that didn’t go to plan at all.
