Good Morning Britain fans all had the same complaint as ‘telepathic’ twins, who spoke in unison, left Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley baffled on Wednesday’s instalment of the ITV show.
Paula and Bridgette Powers, 47, from Queensland, went viral after appearing on Australian channel Seven News to share their witness account of an alleged car jacking.
Susanna said: ‘This interview with you went viral because people watching cant believe it when they see the way you speak together.
‘Just explain who are new to the experience of meeting you, your extraordinary connection, which means you speak in unison. ‘
Paul and Bridgette replied: ‘Yeah we know that we annoy a lot of people out there.
‘But we’ve told people if they don’t like listening to us, just switch off the TV because we have tried to talk separately and it’s very hard for us.

Paula and Bridgette Powers, 47, from Queensland, first appeared on GMB a decade ago to talk about their way of communicating and it went viral
‘We’re not ourselves.’
Richard replied: ‘This is incredible. I am the step father of twins. I’ve never seen anything remotely approaching this. Have you always spoken in sync?’
The sisters replied: ‘No. Guess what? We are just our usual selves.
‘We get on with our work by looking after all the sea birds and we have people coming in for tours, and we’re just ourselves like we are now.
But people watching at home rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their frustration over the interview – and insist that they didn’t believe it.
One said: ‘Stop this nonsense NOW #gmb.’

‘No we’re not dealing with telepathy here, Richard.’
‘We’re dealing with rehearsed scripts & attempting to copy each other. When it’s not a rehearsed part, they speak really slowly.’
‘Isn’t one just copying the other one? Doesn’t seem in unison? #gmb.’
‘Like all else on here…fake.’
‘You can literally see them trying to guess what the other one is saying, there is nothing telepathic about it don’t be so stupid.’
‘What a load of b****x! One just half arsingly saying what the other is saying with some rehearsed speeches thrown in.
‘Notice how slowly they are speaking when it not a rehearsed bit and how it speeds up when rehearsed.’
‘How are they speaking in sync? One is clearly copying what the other one says.’
‘Speaking in unison???’
‘Not very [in] sync interview slow news day?’
It comes after Lorraine Kelly blasted Katy Perry for the Blue Origin space trip in an explosive Good Morning Britain rant on Tuesday.
The presenter, 65, didn’t hold back when she touched upon when the singer, 40, and five other females travelled to space in Jeff Bezos’s rocket on April 14.
An intrigued Susanna Reid asked: ‘Is it like that Blue Origin flight? Where he goes up for a couple of minutes?’
Lorraine snapped back: ‘No. Don’t even get me started about that!
‘And he kisses the Earth?!,’ Susanna said.
Lorraine fumed: ‘Oh shh,’ to which Susanna asked: ‘Are you fuming about it?’
‘I’m fuming, fuming,’ she said back. ‘They cannot call themselves astronauts?
‘How can they call themselves astronauts when they were up on a jolly for 11 minutes.
‘And there already has been an all-women crew up in space anyway! Proper, proper astronauts. It was ridiculous. A woman with her daisy, just shut up. Just shut up!’
Good Morning Britain airs on ITV1 weekdays from 6am and is available to stream on ITVX.
