Fans of Good Morning Britain were left scratching their heads after an unusual interview with twins Paula and Bridgette Powers, who spoke in perfect unison.
The sisters, 47, from Queensland, had become viral sensations after appearing on Australian channel Seven News, where they shared their witness account of an alleged carjacking.
However, it wasn’t their account that had viewers buzzing – it was their ability to speak in sync, which baffled the show’s hosts, Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley.
The Twins’ Viral Moment
Susanna Reid was quick to address the twins’ viral moment, asking them to explain their “extraordinary connection.”
“This interview with you went viral because people watching can’t believe it when they see the way you speak together,” Susanna said.
Paula and Bridgette responded in typical style, admitting that they “annoy a lot of people” with their synchronized speech but added that they simply couldn’t help it.
“We’ve told people if they don’t like listening to us, just switch off the TV,” they explained.
“We have tried to talk separately, but it’s really hard for us. We’re not ourselves when we do.”
Richard’s Reaction and the Fans’ Backlash
Richard Madeley was amazed by their connection, sharing that he has twins in his family but had never seen anything like it. “Have you always spoken in sync?” he asked.
The sisters responded that it wasn’t always this way, revealing that they are just “their usual selves” when they’re working with sea birds and giving tours.
But viewers watching from home weren’t as impressed. Many took to social media, specifically X (formerly Twitter), to voice their frustration over the twins’ interview.
Some viewers doubted the authenticity of their synchronized speech, accusing them of “rehearsed scripts” or “attempting to copy each other.”
One person posted, “Stop this nonsense NOW #gmb,” while another wrote, “You can literally see them trying to guess what the other one is saying – there is nothing telepathic about it!”
Others weren’t shy about criticizing the whole segment, calling it “fake” and pointing out how the sisters’ speech seemed to speed up or slow down depending on whether they were speaking from a script.
The Unsettling Reality of Telepathic Claims
Despite the skepticism, the sisters stuck by their claim that they had no intention of faking their connection.
But this moment wasn’t the only fiery conversation on Good Morning Britain.
Earlier, Lorraine Kelly had been caught up in a heated rant about the Blue Origin space trip.
Lorraine Kelly’s Rant About the Blue Origin Flight
Lorraine Kelly, 65, didn’t mince words when talking about Katy Perry’s space trip with Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin.
During a discussion about the short flight, Susanna asked, “Is it like that Blue Origin flight? Where he goes up for a couple of minutes?”
Lorraine immediately fired back, “No. Don’t even get me started about that!” The conversation quickly escalated when Susanna mentioned the idea of Bezos kissing the Earth.
Lorraine snapped, “Oh shh,” before Susanna probed further, asking if she was “fuming” about it. Lorraine confirmed, “I’m fuming, fuming.”
Her frustration was clear as she ranted about how the women aboard the flight couldn’t call themselves astronauts, questioning how they could claim the title after only spending 11 minutes in space.
“It was ridiculous,” she exclaimed, referencing the fact that an all-women crew had already flown into space.
