A Shania Twain superfan has sacrificed relationships, thousands of pounds, hundreds of hours and even her first name in a bid to emulate her ‘inspirational’ idol. Saskia Vese, 32, has spent around £5,000 on the Canadian singing star’s music and merchandise since she became a fan in 1998. She said: 'When I saw the video for ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’, I was amazed. People were obsessed with the fact she dared to show her midriff, which was very unusual for a country and western star at the time. Saskia (left) so admires Shania (right in her Feel Like A woman video) that she has dedicated her career to the country and western star - she's even sacrificed her relationship and her first name to her obsession
