Or not.

Shoppers in Liverpool were shocked when they found whom they thought was Amy Winehouse laying unconscious at a store front. The security guard even rushed to aid her. As it turned out, it wasn’t really Amy Winehouse, but comedienne Ronni Ancona, who was pulling a prank on the public.

Ancona dressed in a grey dress and heels with Winehouse’s trademark matted beehive, heavy eyeliner and tattoo for the skit for the upcoming second series of her BBC show Ronni Ancona & Friends.

After ‘collapsing’ on the pavement, Ancona was rescued by a concerned security guard who was unaware he was being filmed by her TV crew.

Ronni Ancona did a fantastic job as she looked every bit the troubled singer, albeit a much healthier version. Amy Winehouse is 25, and Ronni Ancona is an impressive 40.

According to an onlooker:

‘I ran over to get a closer look and got my phone out to take some pictures.

‘I was so excited as I’ve never met anyone that famous before so I tried to get her autograph.

‘It wasn’t until I bounced over like a child that I saw a camera crew and realised it was a stunt. I felt a right idiot.

‘She totally fooled me but luckily I was not the only one.’

Ancona played a host of celebrities, including Winehouse, in the first series of her show last year including Kate Moss, Coleen McLoughlin and Jade Goody.
