Who's YOUR celebrity body match? Take this test to find out if you have Gwyneth's waist, Kim's rear or Brad's chest...

Do you have Jessica Alba’s lithe legs, Kim Kardashian’s bottom or Justin Bieber’s arms?
Now, a new website lets you find out exactly who your celebrity body double is.



Called Fitbay, it first asks users to input details about gender, height and weight.
It also asks questions about body shape, with a choice of apple, pear, straight, cone or hourglass for women.

For men, the choice is between oval, triangle, column, broad or muscular.





Users must also choose whether they have short, regular or long torso as well as the length of their arms.

The tool then comes up with the top three celebrities across the world who best match that body type. 

A 5'7" (170cm) woman weighing around 126 lbs (57kg) with a regular-length torso and normal-length arms is a 100 per cent match with actress Jessica Alba 



The developers have gathered the body data of more than 350 international celebrities, but sadly, if your body is so unique it has no famous twin, then the quiz informs you that you have no celebrity matches.

The test was created by Fitbay, a new site which allows people to create a profile and see others with their body type.

They can also buy products specifically suited to their size and shape. 

A spokesperson for Fitbay said: 'Fitbay is a new site that connects you with people who have a similar body and style. 

'Use the app to capture your everyday outfits, tag brands you are wearing, and get fashion inspiration that's right for you. 

'With more than 200,000 users, Fitbay can match you with thousands of people like you around the world to see what they’re wearing.'
