Mum parodies model's raunchy bikini vid – and fans say it's better than the original

An Australian mum best known for her rib-tickling takes on celebrity pictures and videos has had fans howling with her response to a steamy bikini clip shared by model Gabrielle Epstein.

As previously reported by the Daily Star, the original vid shows Gabrielle slipping on a black lingerie set, adjusting her skimpy thong before winking cheekily at fans, following this up with a smile.

Giving her own fun take on this, comedian Celeste Barber swapped the bikini thong for a much more comfortable-looking pair of high-waisted Spanx.

In the parody clip, captioned 'The struggle continues', Celeste can be seen rearranging the Spanx around her crotch area, panting exaggeratedly as she pulls them up. She then swishes her hair, before striking a beaming model pose.

Many fans have praised the ever-relatable 39-year-old for her spot-on parodying skills, with many regarding her take to be better than the original.

One person chuckled, "the breathing and cute smirk at the end did it for me", while another hailed it as being "one of your funniest".

A third added, "I don't know who the first one is, but yours are so much better", while a fourth applauded, "The way you, in the most simple way, point out the pathetic s*** that is posted everywhere and affect the view on the female body is just brilliant."

Even Hollywood legends Drew Barrymore and Sharon Stone commented on the post to thank Celeste for her "stunning" performance.

Back in late December, Celeste had fans in stitches with her perfect parody of Kylie Jenner's Christmas photo, which saw her clutching a huge sparkly bow in one hand, and a half-drunk bottle of rosé in the other.
