Kim Kardashian spend $500,000 on body double of daughter North

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have paid $500,000 to hire a body double of their daughter, North, Mirror reports.

Kim and Kanye bother about the attention 13-month-old North receives from photographers, so have taken drastic measures to allow the youngster and her nanny to go out undetected.

A source told Britain's Grazia magazine: "Kim and Kanye hired the lookalike to shield North from the paparazzi.

"There were auditions held in LA at a specialist agency and in the end they found a child who is the spitting image of their daughter.

"They also hired a body-double nanny, who they hope will really throw paps off the scent."

North isn’t the first celebrity offspring to have a double, as it was revealed last year that Suri Cruise-the daughter of Tom Cruise and his ex-wife Katie Holmes-also had a decoy. Suri’s lookalike was spotted just weeks after it had been claimed Tom had beefed up his daughter’s security after meeting with risk analysts and abduction experts.
