Meet the Irish model chosen as Kim Kardashian’s body double

Irish model Shahira Barry has been cast as a Kim Kardashian body double for a new advertisement on the entertainment channel E!.

The Galway girl wrote about her experience on her blog where she gave readers a little insight into her day working along side the Kardashian-Jenner clan.

Shahira explained that she didn't even apply for the job, she was just picked at random after a job she undertook in the past and she  "was booked as Kim's stand-in".

As Kim is one of the most photographed women on the planet with thousands of women wanting a body just like hers it must have come as a happy surprise for Shahira. "I was very flattered and it was definitely a confidence boost!" she admitted.

According to the model, the famous family are even better looking in real life. "Kris, Kylie, Kendall, Kourtney, Kim and Khloe were all there along with their glam squad and a large production group. WOW they are one beautiful family! I think they are actually better looking in person," she wrote of her experiences on set.

Shahira gave us an insight into the lives of the stars saying, "Personality wise they were all the same as they are on TV which is refreshing!"
