Addressed exclusively to daily starthe mum-of-two said: “People said I shouldn’t be a mum and they’re going to call social services because of my eyebrows. It’s getting 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.
The full-time mum started using a liquid pencil to enlarge her eyebrows a year ago.
Explaining why, Sammie-Jo said, “I’m not a big fan of beauty standards these days.

“I feel like people are socially conditioned to only be beautiful if they fit within those norms and I just don’t agree with that and I don’t like that.
“I just like to make a statement and the brows do that for me. They started out normal in size and they just got bigger over time and I just like to look different.
“It would be cool if they were the biggest eyebrows in Britain.
“I’ve now created a hashtag called ‘the bigger the forehead, the bigger the boy’ because it’s true and that’s what I tell my friends.”
Sammie-Jo was recently convinced by her friends to join TikTok – where she gained over 75,000 followers in just four weeks.
And despite some cruel comments, she said her dazzling look caught the attention of men.

She said: ‘People say I don’t have boys because I have big eyebrows, but that’s not true.
“I’ve had quite a few men in my inbox who told me I’m beautiful and they would date me.
“They always mention eyebrows first, so maybe there’s a fetish there.”
Strangers now approach her in public to ask about the eyebrows that take up most of her forehead.
Most people are polite, but she added: “Young girls will laugh at me on the street, I’ve had it a few times but they do it to each other.
“The worst comments are online. I get horrible comments about my makeup and they also take the mic out of my teeth.
Despite the trolling, Sammie-Jo strives to use her platform to encourage people to be who they want to be.
She said: ‘I haven’t had the best life before and I’ve been through a lot of trauma and abuse from people.
“I guess for the past three years I’ve found myself and gone through therapy to realize that I’m worthy no matter what I look like or what I decide to do.”
The mum added: “Trolling doesn’t affect me anymore. I try to raise awareness that people can be different.
“That’s how I fight them.”
