The Cheeky Girls pretend to be Siamese twins

The Cheeky Girls: Don't compare us to John and Edward!

Gabriela and Monica say they're better

Friday, 6 November 2009

The Cheeky Girls aren't impressed that X Factor contestants John and Edward Grimes are being likened to them.

Gabriela and Monica Irimia - who shot to fame on Popstars: The Rivals in 2002 - don't think the boys, 18, are in the same league.

‘Please don't compare us to the twins,' they say. ‘They are not like us except that they're biological twins.

‘They're not a novelty act, we're a novelty act. A novelty act must have something new. They don't.'

Gabriela and Monica, both 27, predict Jedward will struggle to get their showbiz careers off the ground after The X Factor.

‘Without all the dancers around them, John and Edward would not be so attractive,' they tell The Sun. ' There is a lot of smoke and mirrors.

‘Our fan base is much wider. Fans of all ages listen to our songs. They don't even have a proper name.'
