The fiancé of New Zealand's prime minister has showed off the bizarre life-like doll a fan sent to their young daughter.
Clarke Gayford, 44, revealed the creepy replica of his fiancé Jacinda Ardern to his 52,000 Instagram followers on Monday.
'We get given all sorts of wonderful hand-made arts and crafts and when I say we, I mean Neve,' he says while nonchalantly brushing the doll's hair.
'There's some real talent in this country, some incredible talent, and she's a very lucky three-year-old.

'Some of the things that make their way into our home and into our three-year-old's heart, include this wonderful dolly, which Neve has even given a name.'
Mr Gayford then turns the toy around to reveal the doll's face has been painted eerily similar to that of New Zealand's much-loved leader.
'She calls this dolly "Creepy Mummy,"' he announced.
'Creepy Mummy would just like to say "hang in there, you got this, even though it's Monday."'
Instagram users were quick to share their thoughts on the doll in the comments.

'Sweet baby Jesus that is insane...ly gorgeous. All kinds of wrong but I love it and want it!' One woman joked.
'So great, she gets propped up with mini cups of tea and books on a special chair,' Mr Gayford replied to her comment.
'Gold. Everyone needs a creepy doll in childhood. Hang in there New Zealand,' another said.
'Doing a great job creepy mummy,' another fan wrote.
The light relief came as New Zealanders were released from a snap two-week lockdown and the country recorded 53 new cases of Covid-19 on Monday.
