Supernanny Jo has been replaced by Michelle Obama lookalike


 She is known on both sides of the Atlantic for her no-nonsense approach to dealing with wayward children. But now Supernanny Jo Frost has been replaced in her TV role by a Michelle Obama lookalike who prefers kindlier techniques to stern finger-wagging.
However, British childcare guru Jo, renowned as a disciplinarian with dark clothes and scraped-back hair, is not taking it lightly.
Jo, who quit the show in a row over money, said she was ‘unhappy’ at being replaced and added: ‘I feel like I worked really hard to get where I am. I am Supernanny. That’s me.’

And she fired a broadside at the glamorous new Supernanny, Deborah Tillman, 49, saying she does not have the credentials for the role
Meanwhile, Jo is continuing her TV career, with slots on one of America’s top-rated syndicated talk shows and appearances on Channel 4’s Extreme Parental Guidance, which starts its third season next year.
‘They [Shed Media] thought if the show went away, then I’d go away. But I am still here,’ she said.
‘I am working on a brand new show of my own for America. ‘Ask anyone who Supernanny is. It’s me. End of subject
