Kate Moss fans stunned as supermodel ‘spotted at BBC Radio One's Big Weekend' – but all is not what it seems
KATE Moss fans were stunned when the supermodel was 'spotted at BBC Radio One's Big Weekend' - but all was not what it seems. Some of the biggest names in music headed to Sefton Park for the weekend, including Mel C, Tom Grennan, Lola Young and Natasha Bedingfield. 4 But fans were even more dazzled by a famous celebrity that appeared in the crowd. Dressed in a black t-shirt, denim cut offs and cowboy boots - fans were convinced supermodel Kate Moss had turned up to enjoy the festival vibe. However, things were not as they seemed because the stunning beauty was in fact the lovely Denise Ohnona. Denise, 44, works as a lookalike for Kate Moss, who recently was found to have the most physically perfect face, according to the Golden Ratio theory. But even though, Denise uses her own name on TikTok which categorically states "I am not Kate Moss" - fans still couldn't believe it. After seeing Denise's post which showed her dancing at the festival, fans were still left baffled. "Wait is this not Kate Mosse!!" exclaimed one fan. "I refuse to believe this isn't Kate Moss !!" added another. One confused fan said: "The comments are saying that this isn't Kate Moss so I've watched the video 5 times and I'm absolutely baffled! "If this isn't Kate Moss, then who the hell is it and is she cashing in on this skill?!" Kate Moss is officially the most beautiful of all supermodels, according to science Denise explained: "I work as a lookalike but never get rich from it. I'm not actually Kate so don't get paid like Kate for jobs." But still fans were confused - despite being on Denise's actual account. "It is Kate Moss isn't it?" asked another. To which Denise once again replied: "No it's me." But the comments kept on coming with many still questioning if the video was really of the supermodel. "Wait is this Kate Moss?! I'm convinced it is" said another fan. And another cheekily suggested: "Maybe this is why we all think Kate Moss looks amazing for her age. "We've all just been spotting Denise out and about." Despite having worked as a lookalike for the glamorous supermodel since 2017, Denise has admitted she still struggles with self-esteem. The blonde beauty told Fabulous: 'For me, it is so so flattering that I even get to be a lookalike for Kate Moss. 'Personally I've never thought I was beautiful. I didn't like how I looked different. 'I had wide set eyes and still to this day I don't think I'm beautiful.' Meanwhile, Kate, 51, used to be a regular at Glastonbury— but her daughter Lila, 22, is now taking centre stage as the family representative. Lila has admitted that she raids her supermodel mum's wardrobe — to find outfits to wear at Glastonbury Festival. Kate was last seen attending Glastonbury back in 2023 when she was pictured watching Primal Scream from the side of the Pyramid Stage. 4

Radio 1's Big Weekend Liverpool: In pictures
Music lovers packed out Liverpool's Sefton Park for Radio 1's Big three days, an estimated 100,000 music fans came to enjoy around 100 performances across four Friday Tom Grennan headlined and he had lots of guest stars joining him on stage. During his set, he was joined on stage by famous Liverpudlian, Mel C from the 90s girl-band the Spice in the group as Sporty Spice, true to her nickname she wore a Liverpool football shirt. While you might be expecting cheers from a hometown crowd - she was booed by some for wearing the meanwhile, said he was "restoring the balance" as he wore a blue Everton top, the city's other famous football club. Another surprise was YouTuber KSI joining Grennan."We're about to go wild for this," Grennan promised before KSI entered the stage to cheers from fans. He wasn't the only one making an unexpected appearance either! Ed Sheeran thrilled fans with a shock performance on the New Music Stage, telling the crowd: "I'm glad you turned up. I know this was a secret."But as it wasn't able to contain as big an audience as the main stage, some fans were left disappointed that they didn't get to see his set. One person who was playing the main stage was Myles Smith, who will also have a busy summer playing at Glastonbury and Wembley as well as supporting Ed Sheeran on his 26-year-old who earlier this year won the Rising Star Brit Award, was thrilled to be there."It's wild," he told the BBC.

But for other fans, their highlight was seeing Jade Thirwall - the former Little Mix star turned solo artist. She performed some of her solo hits including Angel of My Dreams and Fantasy, but she also paid tribute to her bandmates as well, playing some of their biggest songs.

'I was at Radio 1's Big Weekend – one star was iconic as another left fuming'
It's one of the best weekends of the year for a music lover and journalist. BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend hit Liverpool over the weekend, and they didn't hold back. Some of the biggest names in music headed to Sefton Park to put on unmissable performances throughout the weekend, including JADE (Thirlwall), Sam Fender, Tom Grennan, Lola Young and even a surprise guest. And it couldn't have been a more perfect weekend, okay, we had a bit of rain (and a lot of wind), but the sun was shining and I'm currently more red than Anfield Stadium, but it was so worth it. So what was it really like? In the words of Liam Gallagher – biblical. Friday was a quiet start to the weekend, but it still delivered everything and more. I got there just in time to see Natasha Bedingfield perform, which I had been so excited for and can honestly say I felt like I was reliving my childhood again which was incredible. But the highlight for me on Friday was, of course, Tom Grennan. I've spoken about this countless times this weekend, but three years ago, I saw Tom play on the Future Sounds Stage at Big Weekend in Coventry. Now, three years later and over one billion UK streams later, he was headlining the Main Stage. He's one of those rare musicians who still appreciates every bit of success he gets and puts on an incredible show – and he did just that. I knew there would be something special coming during Tom's set, but I hadn't anticipated just how phenomenal it would be. Not only did he bring out Ella Henderson for their track, but he also brought out Melanie C to perform When You're Gone together. Although they were wearing Everton and Liverpool shirts, which I'll let them off with, the response was incredible from the crowd. Melanie is obviously a Scouse icon and one-fifth of the world's biggest girlband, which saw the whole crowd erupt into cheers. He was also joined by The Zutons to sing their 2006 hit, Valerie, which to me was the best. Between the music, I got to hang out in the BBC Guest Area, which allowed me to use a private bar, grab food without waiting in huge queues and most importantly, clean toilets. A must at a festival, given how many people use the main arena ones. It was here I bumped into Radio 1 star Conor Knight, who was overjoyed at being at the event. Conor is a regular on the network and has covered Radio 1 weekend breakfast and also the mid-morning show over Christmas – there's no denying he's one of the best at the station. Saturday, though – no words, apart from out of this world. Ed Sheeran had just been announced as the surprise special guest on the Radio 1 New Music Stage. I thought my days of sprinting across fields were over, but no, off I ran for my life to try and get into the stage. He was only scheduled for 45 minutes, but those 45 minutes were heavenly. Hearing tracks such as Perfect, Shape of You, The A Team and Bad Habits certainly kicked off the day in the best way. The tent was at full capacity with 5,000 people eager to see Ed perform. It proved just how talented he is as well. Just one man, a guitar and a loop pedal yet had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Although myself and 5,000 other people were happy, apparently Tom Odell wasn't best pleased and I can see why. Tom was performing on the Main Stage at the same time, and on my way out of Ed, I saw the crowd... It wasn't as packed as Tom probably would have liked. But who can really compete with Ed Sheeran? Now, one act who set the Main Stage alight... Sugababes. I've seen them several times and even worked with them (goals – Kiesha revealed to me they were playing Glastonbury last year). There's no denying they're the best female vocal group to come out of the UK, and I'll take that to my grave. Their set attracted one of the biggest crowds of the weekend, performing hits including About You Now, Round Round, Overload and Freak Like Me. It was the vibe we all needed in the sun and it was clear to see how much it meant to Keisha, Siobhán and Mutya. I also caught up with Siobhan backstage and she's the kindest soul you could ever meet, not to mention we both twinned with Vivienne Westwood glasses. But I needed to warm up before King Sam Fender headlined so off I went back to the Guest Area to make the most of the bar. This is where all the famous faces were hanging out conserving their energy for the weekend. One word for Sam in-sane. I can't think of another word. Like Tom Grennan, I've followed him from the start of his career, watched him play one of his first festivals, saw him headline his first (Tramlines), and he was also on the Future Sounds Stage three years ago. There's something about Sam's sets that captivates the audience. Around 100,000 were expected to attend, and somehow I got close to the front with a group of friends. Sam's set went off with a bang. It was just utterly brilliant. Famous faces were scattered around the crowd, and nobody was bothering them because we were all too focused on enjoying the Geordie King. Obviously, he had to open with Getting Started, I feel like that's a given with Sam. He delivered his best hits, such as Will We Talk?, People Watching, Seventeen Going Under before closing with Hypersonic Missiles. I refused to leave early and trying to get out with the whole crowd proved to be quite interesting. We left at 10pm, and although I live an hour away from Liverpool, I didn't get home until after midnight because of how many people were trying to get cabs and Ubers from Sefton Park. Sunday proved to be yet another incredible day with the likes of JADE, Lola Young, HAIM and Wet Leg performing. I wasn't too fussed on the majority of the line-up for Sunday, but I left the comfort of the backstage tent, which had been sheltering us and headed out into the rain to see HAIM with friends, and I wasn't disappointed. I'd never heard their music, but I was impressed and will definitely listen to them now. And around came the moment I'd been waiting all day for. Jade. I'd followed her since the early days of Rhythmix (if you know, you know) and recently saw her perform at the BRIT Awards, so I knew I was in for a treat. Since venturing out as a solo artist, Jade hasn't shied away from pushing the boundaries and experimenting with her sound. It's working, there's no denying that. Now, I completely understand that she's classed as a "new artist" given she's just gone solo, but she shouldn't have been on the New Music stage. She deserved the Main Stage headline slot. Belting out hits like FUFN (clean version), IT Girl, Midnight Cowboy and her debut single Angel of My Dreams (which by the way, INCREDIBLE), she also delivered a mix of Little Mix hits including Wasabi, Shout Out To My Ex and Sweet Melody, as well as a cover of N-Trance's 1995 anthem, Trance. It was her first-ever solo festival performance, and she drew in one of the biggest crowds. The tent had a maximum capacity of 5,000, and it was filled, with more people standing outside in the rain watching her perform. I can't describe the energy because it was so unique but it's clear to see that Jade has cemented herself as the one to watch in the industry and is a true force to be reckoned with. I didn't catch the Main Stage headline act, Mumford and Sons, because I left as soon as Jade finished – as did thousands of others. It would have been hard for any artist to top Jade's set so I feel like it was probably the best decision to leave while still buzzing (and singing, much to the dismay of my friends...)
