Megan took a pair of scissors to a wig that she’d once worn when she dressed as a witch for Halloween.
She transformed it into the TV personality’s classic bob and bangs.
Megan raided her wardrobe for an all black ensemble, added a dark grey blazer she picked up in a charity shop and made fingerless gloves out of a pair of black socks.
She completed the look with a heavy duty, full coverage foundation and used eyeliner to create Claudia’s famous smoky eyed look.
Megan says that she barely recognised herself and her friends were in disbelief when they saw her.

“Claudia is absolutely one of my icons,” Megan, from Wirral, Merseyside, told What’s the Jam.
“She’s a legend and I love The Traitors so much.
“One of my really good friends was having a fancy dress party and I had no idea who to go as so I thought I’d have to give it a miss.

“I decided to go about one-and-a-half hours before the party started so I had to just create an outfit out of what I already had because I didn’t have time to get anything.
“I was thinking of British icons and I remembered that The Traitors was coming back so I got a long wig out of the loft that I’d worn for Halloween one year.
“To get Claudia’s classic bob and fringe, I gave the wig a good chop.
“Her make up is the opposite of how I do mine.
“I’m a lipstick girl but I had nothing on my lips. I covered my face in foundation and did a smoky eye.
“I didn’t think we look alike but I looked identical to her. I was freaking myself out when I looked in the mirror.
“I kept thinking it wasn’t me.”
Megan, who works in marketing, said that when she arrived at the party, friends of 15 years didn’t recognise her.
She said: “My sister came to pick me up and we were laughing for about 20 minutes.
“It ended up being quite an awkward party because nobody recognised me.
“I was talking to friends who I’ve known for half of my life and they didn’t realise it was me for about 15 minutes.
“I posted a photo of myself on my Instagram story and people were messaging me saying ‘it’s not you is it?’
“They didn’t believe that it was me. People were freaked out.”
Megan filmed a video of herself reenacting Claudia’s Head and Shoulder’s advert with a bottle of the shampoo that she found in her cupboard.
The post has racked up more than 194,000 views.
Megan said: “I thought it would be funny to film a video and do a lip sync so I got some Head and Shoulders out of the cupboard.
“Claudia just entered my body.
“My sister had to stop filming it because it was so weird. She said we look identical.
“I hadn’t planned on posting the video. I just wanted to show my outfit to my mum.
“It blew up, it’s mad. Every time traitors is on there’s a surge of views.
“There hasn’t been one negative comment. People said they’d try to replicate it.”
Even one of The Traitors ex-contestants spotted the resemblance.
Elise added: “This is a bit too accurate. I feel like you’re about to tell me if I’ve been picked to be a traitor or not.”
Rayan Rachedi, who was banished in season one, commented: “I think this is a little bit too close. I’m scared.”
Kieran said: “Hold up. This might be Claudia Winkleman.
