Mum with UK's biggest eyebrows shares how she looks without them

A 27-year-old woman who said she was abused online and threatened in the street because of her huge eyebrows has shared what she looks like without them.

Sammie-Jo Hailford said some people had even threatened to call social services on her because of the extreme make-up look, claiming she must be a bad mother.

She has now shared what she looks like without the make-up to her 90,000 TikTok followers, reports the Daily Star.

Sammie-Jo has been painting huge eyerows onto her forehead with liquid liner for the last year.

In her latest clip she removes them using a wipe - and some elbow grease - and the video was quickly watched well over 1.3million times with with 50,000 likes and thousands of comments.

Jessie Ann Smith replied: "You're naturally pretty without all that make up."

Zoe Heinrichs added: Sseriously leave the brows off babe."

But Ashleee said: "Beautiful with or without. But what matters is what makes you feel comfortable. No one can tell you how you should dress or act or do your makeup."

Afterwards, Sammie-Jo told Daily Star: "Personally I love myself without makeup and I also love myself with makeup.

"But I prefer myself with the makeup because I feel the brows make me feel liberated and free."

Earlier this week she explained why she enjoys making a statement with her brows.

She said: “I’m not a massive fan of beauty standards today.

“I feel like people are socially conditioned to only be beautiful if they are part of these standards and I just don’t agree with it and I don’t like it.

“I just like to make a statement and the brows do that for me.

"They started off normal size and they just got bigger over time and I just like to look different."

The 27-year-old added: "It would be cool if they were Britain’s biggest eyebrows.

“I’ve now created a hashtag called 'bigger the brow, bigger the boy' because it’s true and that’s what I say to my friends.”

Since the interview, she has made headlines globally while gaining thousands of new followers.

And she caused a huge reaction online when she admitted to being threatened with social services.

She said: “People have said I shouldn’t be a mum and they are going to ring social services because of my eyebrows. It gets really extreme on the internet.

“They can call social services because I have nothing to hide. My eyebrows don’t determine whether I’m a good mother or not.”

She is now using her unique look to become a social media star.

And Sammie-Jo said she has been inundated with single men seeking her attention.

"I've had a lot of hate and judgment for my eyebrows and makeup but I've also had a lot of people being nice and supportive and I've seen them fighting the negative people in comments - it was very overwhelming.

"I've had people tagging me saying I made the news in India, Australia, Nigeria and America and the whole thing has been crazy."
