Costly Sparrow obsession

Amanda Sparrow has spent as much as £4,000 on her pirate obsession, purchasing everything from tattoos to gold teeth, all with the intention of looking more like her movie hero.

After watching ten minutes of 'Pirates of the Caribbean', the mum-of-four felt inspired to live her life as a Jack Sparrow impersonator.

The 43-year-old's obsession started when her daughter, 13, noticed a resemblance.
