Sports presenter dubbed the Mexican Kim Kardashian says she's 'embarrassed' to be compared to the social media queen because she does more than 'just post photos online'.
Jimena Sanchez, who has garnered a following of more than a million Twitter and Instagram admirers for her raunchy posts on social media, said: 'Kim doesn't seem to do anything. My ideals are completely different than Kim Kardashian's'.
The presenter on the Spanish-language FOX Sports channel told MailOnline in Mexico City: 'It's surprising that Kim and her sisters have become so famous given that none of them have any special talents.'
'They don't seem to do anything, certainly nothing you could call talent. I dedicate my life to other things, I don't think we're anything alike'.
Miss Sanchez is smaller than she appears in her now-famous selfies - standing at just 5ft 5ins – and walks with the bouncy gait she has been noted for during her energetic performances on FOX.
She plays constantly with her hair and pouts her lips almost instinctively as she listens to other people speak.
Jimena, who describes herself as the 'sexy girl' of Mexican television, says she is passionate about sport and that being a professional journalist is what makes her different from the style-icon she is compared to.
'I love my job and I'm good at it,' she said. 'Physically we may be alike, but we aren't similar professionally.'
Despite not enjoying be likened to Kim, Jimena nevertheless admits there are certain aspects which are undeniably similar and is obviously pleased with the publicity the comparison has brought.
'I don't think I look anything like her, but we both use social media to publish sexy photos,' she added. That has made me the Mexican Kim Kardashian more than anything else.
'We are both popular because of our looks, and we're both very active on social media, so it's difficult not to draw comparisons, I just didn't think it was going to become such a big deal'.
When asked whether she is after the social media queen's crown, Jimena replied: 'It would be nice.'
But Jimena still has some way to go, with just under a million Twitter followers compared to Kim's thirty million.
'It's much more difficult to get followers in Mexico,' she complained. 'People here aren't as switched on technologically as they are in the US.'
