Although people had been telling Joanna, 35, from Hertfordshire that she looked like Cher since she was 16, it wasn’t until ten years ago that she became a Cher tribute act. She now performs both nationally and internationally doing around four shows per week and she also occasionally appears in local musical theatre productions.

Joanna describes her family as the “Von Trapps” as they were five children who performed together for their family and synagogue shows. She says that she has never wanted to do anything other than perform after attending performing arts college and has always felt she was destined for stardom.

She is due to marry her partner, Steve in Las Vegas in February. He also happens to be a singer, occasionally working as an Elvis tribute.
