(Sort of) double signature on passport

Hi-
A family member received a new adult passport today, and in their eagerness, began to sign below the line on the signature page. They realised midway through, so then signed the full signature correctly above the line.
My attempt to recreate this is attached.
Do we think this is OK ? Might it cause issues when arriving in a foreign country or arriving back in the UK ? Do we leave it as is, or maybe put a single line through the mistake ?
Thanks.

The scenario looks like 10 years of worry or start again. No brainer really.

I'd cross out the mistake with a single diagonal line and not worry about it. But then, I'm not the worrying type...

Just leave it as it is. The call centre will tell you to replace it but really you don’t. As long as there is a signature it will be fine.1
