'My daughter told me my 12-week scan photo looks like Claudia Winkleman and now all I can see when I look at my unborn child is Claudia Winkleman,' Amy revealed.
'I can't see anything else! I'm going to give birth to Claudia Winkleman! Let me show you…'
Showing up the scans, Amy explained: 'I showed her the photos and she went, 'Oh! That one looks like Claudia Winkleman with the fringe and then the hair that goes down' and now literally all I can see on my scan photo is Claudia Winkleman!' @thehustlemumma #12weekscan #babylookalike #funnyscan #viral #trending #whatthehelly ♬ original sound – thehustlemumma
Amy reiterated that it was 'literally all I can see' surmising that the resemblance must mean she is having a baby girl.
'For f**k sake, it's meant to be a special moment; why do kids ruin stuff?' she wondered.
The viral moment has amassed more than 112,000 likes in just three days with social media users taking to the comments shocked at just how much the scan does look like the Traitors presenter.

One said: 'I wasn't expecting the reveal to be so accurate to Claudia Winkleman to be honest.'

A third added: 'Why do I see Noel Fielding instead?' to which Amy responded: 'What!!! It got worse.'
It comes as earlier this month a decades-old embryo was born, described as the world's 'oldest baby.'
Thaddeus Daniel Pierce was born on July 26, 2025 — but was developed from an embryo that was created in 1994, being placed in storage for over 30 years.
Thaddeus' parents, Lindsey and Tim 'adopted' the embryo from the woman who created it, with Tim being a toddler when the embryos, which included his son, were first created.

WATCH: Irish Mammy shares gas story about trying to get an 'ordinary' cup of tea in London

An Irish mammy is going viral for having a rant about trying to get an 'ordinary' cup of tea in London and, well, being unsuccessful. The video was shared by her daughter, singer-songwriter Caroline Kay, and so far, it has amassed more than 475k views. Sharing the video to TikTok, she wrote: 'My very Irish Mammy tried to get an ORDINARY CUP OF TEA in a trendy London cafe, bless her #irishmammy' There are many trendy cafés in London Pic: Getty Images In her own words, Mammy Kay is seen sharing: 'So anyway, I just asked her for a pot of boiling water, a [tall] mug, a tea bag, and a little bit of cold milk. 'So then I get a pot of boiling water, beautiful pot. And I get a low, wide cappuccino mug, not a tall mug. And then I get this little, little, small, little pottery thing with a whole load of tea leaves in it. I said, tea bag. 'So I said, I just want a cup of tea… an ordinary cup of tea. Now, my fault was I should have probably gone with the tea leaves back to her and said, 'Will you just give me a tea bag?' @carolinekay117 My very Irish Mammy tried to get an ORDINARY CUP OF TEA in a trendy London cafe, bless her. #irishmammy ♬ original sound – Caroline Kay 'So I said, you know what? I'll put the tea leaves into the strainer. But then, of course, when you put the strainer back into the kettle, the water is down below the tea things. So then I emptied all the tea leaves into it. 'All I want is cup of tea: A tea bag, boiling water, and a little bit of cold milk. That's it. I'm happy. And we're in England like, the place where it's supposed to be great cup of tea.' Needless to say, the comments were quickly filled with others who could relate to Caroline and were sharing some of their stories about their mum's coming to visit them from Ireland. Is your mam as fussy as Caroline Kay's when it comes to a cup of tea? Pic: Getty Images One user wrote: 'Oh girl stop! I live in Cambridge (I'm Irish) and my mam is a nightmare. No one ever gets it right. Always just wants a black tea in a mug and a cold bit of water but always gets milk. Then Never will order what's on the menu, just wants a sausage sandwich.' Another shared: ''And we're in England like' has absolutely killed me because WHY is it so hard to get a good cup of tea in London.' A third commented: 'The eye roll, head thrown back and sigh is iconic. Pure Irish Mammy.' You know what'll happen now? She'll be bringing a little tupperware with her to the cafe's in London filled to the brim of Barry's teabags! Mark my words!
