Richard Madeley was baffled by The Twinnies
The siblings, who call themselves The Twinnies, spoke via video link from their home in Queensland, Australia.
They became globally recognised after talking in unison live to a news outlet about their mum being faced by an alleged gunman.
Richard Madeley asked them: "Do you dream in sync, do you have the same dreams".
The twins looked blankly at their camera before saying bluntly "no" at the same time.

"No we hardly dream", added Bridget.
In a fascinating moment, the sisters giggled together in exactly the same fashion,after answering the question.
"You even giggle in sync," responded a baffled Mr Madeley.
The stunned GMB host also grilled the twins on whether they were telepathic.

"Yeh, probably, I'm so glad there are people out there who understand twins. We did go to a twins function and they said they were jealous of our relationship," they replied in unison.
Bridget and Paula run an animal rescue charity and were mentored by the late Steve Irwin.
It is not the first time they have showed off their remarkable shared wavelength on TV.
The pair were interviewed by Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain back in 2016, where they spoke in sync with each other.

Morgan called it "one of the greatest interviews I've ever conducted in my life."
Meanwhile, in their viral interview on 7NEWS Queensland, the twins told how their mother came face-to-face with an armed car thief.
The Aussies, who were wearing matching outfits for the TV interview, completed each other's sentences word-for-word as they told their story.
The pair stunned the internet with their jaw-dropping shared wavelength.

Social media users have gone as far to call it a "top five interview of all time."
The clip has now been viewed on X more than three million times.
The reported carjacking incident took place in Queensland - which the pair witnessed first hand.
A 22-year-old woman is reported to have died from injuries sustained in a crash, and another man was shot.

Introducing the twins' interview, a news report sets up the witness testimony in a conventional, straightforward manner.
The newsreader says: "Two sisters have told of how their mother and a man raced to help when the carjacked SUV rolled on Steve Irwin Way, only to find the gun-wielding car thief emerging from the wreck."
Recounting the terrifying incident, the sisters explained: "One guy, he was up there with our mum.
"And he went up there, he was coming back down towards us and he goes 'run, he's got a gun'.

"And our heart started to pound. And I said, 'Oh, mum, where's mum?'. And poor mum was stuck up there."
While one of the pair recounts the story, the other repeatedly joins in word-for-word, fully in sync with her sister's account.
They described how their mum went to the car to help only to find man with a gun.
The pair continued: "She goes, 'Are you alright?' Because he had blood all over his face. She goes, 'I'm here to help'.

"Mum was distracting him to make him look the other way and he looked the other way and mum ran into the bush behind the fence and the guy goes, 'I'll find you and I'll shoot you'."
The twins were unharmed in the horrifying incident.

ITV axes beloved breakfast show segment in new cost-cutting measures
ITV has been forced to make more major cuts in an attempt to manage costs and it is bad news for some huge breakfast stars. ITV's Andi Peters and Jeff Brazier will reportedly no longer be sent on lavish holidays abroad as the broadcaster have been forced to cut all their expenses-paid trips. Over the past year, the duo have been whisked off to a number of sun-soaked locations to front ITV competitions, appearing on programmes such as Good Morning Britain, Loose Women, This Morning and Lorraine. Andi's enviable locations have included the Maldives, Australia, Cape Town, and Florida while Jeff has been sent to Thailand, Sri Lanka and Malta. However, channel executives believe it's in "bad taste" to continue flying presenters to exotic destinations after announcing hundreds of devastating redundancies across ITV as part of their cost-saving measures. An insider told MailOnline: "ITV have scaled back on sending top talent overseas to present their competition segments. The competitions themselves, which give viewers the chance to win six figure sums and idyllic holidays, bring in a great deal of revenue, but constantly flying the likes of Andi and Jeff to the Maldives and South Africa was starting to frustrate staff and viewers alike." The source continued: "It was decided that they would dial down for a few weeks after the budget cuts were announced and no one has flown overseas to present the competitions since. "As well as there being a backlash online from disgruntled viewers, it was felt continuing to send talent abroad to luxurious holiday destinations as others are losing their jobs would be in bad taste." ITV's budget cuts were first announced last month, with a number of popular programmes taking a huge hit as the broadcaster battles a mounting financial crisis, the Express reports. The Lorraine Show will lose its long-standing hour-long slot from January 2026 , and will now air for just 30 minutes from 9:30am until 10am. The show, presented by Lorraine Kelly, has seen its airtime been slashed in half and the talk show has also been restricted to being broadcast just 30 weeks of the year. Fears have been circulating that the Scots presenter may quit her show, which has been running since 2010, as a result of the cuts. Lorraine received the news after returning to work following a surgery to remove her ovaries and fallopian tubes last year. The surgery was described as "preventative" and performed via keyhole surgery. As part of the shake-up, Good Morning Britain will have its current 6am to 9am slot extended until 9:30am. During the 22 weeks of the year that Lorraine will now be off-air, Good Morning Britain's airtime has been extended until 10am, adding an extra hour to its original schedule. Meanwhile, This Morning will still air from 10:30am to 12:30pm but another show which is being scaled back is Loose Women. The popular ITV daytime programme will now also air on a seasonal basis for just 30 weeks a year. According to MailOnline, Loose Women is set to scrap their live audience due to the ongoing budget cuts.

"Mackie was just a young boy but he had a bit about him, he was a bit like me, 'Aye, I'll do it.' "So I remember being in the changing room and Lenny is like 'right lets go [with the initiation songs]' and he's came in and I remember looking at him like 'he's not going to do it.' "Lenny was fired up and involved with all the tunes and that, and he's [Mackie] just went 'A light's shone in' and I'm like he's f****** doing it!

"I seen him [Mackie] the other week, I asked if i ever gave him that £100, he was like 'Did you f***!' "But imagine that, imagine singing Penny Arcade in front of Lenny. I couldn't believe it mate." Cummings was prolific for Hibs during his spell in Leith, helping propel the Edinburgh side to Scottish Cup and Scottish Championship glory. The forward scored 71 times in 149 appearances for Hibs, whilst also picking up 23 assists. He left Hibs for Nottingham Forrest, but only made 17 appearances for the reds. Neil Lennon reveals Gordon Strachan's abrupt response to his Celtic retirement announcement After only six months in England, he was shipped out on loan, joining Rangers for the remainder of that season, scoring six times. Cummings revitalised his career by making the move down under, signing for Central Coast Mariners, as well as switching international allegiance to the Aussies. He was capped three times for the Socceroos, scoring only one goal. The former Hibs man now plays his football in India, with Mohun Bagan SG.

Carol McGiffin hits out at Loose Women's ‘exhausting' wardrobe rules as she reveals body part they banned from showing
LOOSE RIPPED Carol McGiffin hits out at Loose Women's 'exhausting' wardrobe rules as she reveals body part they banned from showing Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CAROL McGiffin has blasted Loose Women again as she revealed its strict wardrobe rules - and slammed ITV bosses amid budget cuts. The broadcaster, 65, officially left the ITV Daytime show in 2023 following a contract dispute. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Loose Women has a strict wardrobe policy, according to a former pannelist Credit: Rex 3 Carol McGiffin says the panel were told what to wear and everything needed to be 'coordinated' Credit: Rex While she's still pals with her former co-stars, she hasn't got many good things to say about the higher ups. Taking a swipe at her former employers, Carol wrote in her Best magazine column: "If those in charge had spent less time obsessing over wardrobe policy and allowed presenters to be themselves, allowing them to say what they think rather than what they wanted them to think, they might not be losing 200+ jobs." She went on: "TV bosses, in my experience, love telling their 'on-screen talent' what to wear, as well as what to say. "I did Loose Women for almost 20 years and the mandated dress codes used to exhaust me." Carol, who first appeared on the series in 2000 before she quit in 2023, said one fleeting rule they enforced was a ban on bare arms being shown on screen. She said: "We went from wearing our own clothes to being bought stuff to adhere to ludicrous wardrobe policies like 'no arms on show' ... "Presumably because our ageing biceps were morphing into bingo wings which the (male) boss at the time had decided were offensive. "Another female(!) boss once ordered all the women to wear high heels as well. "I always loathed being 'dressed' or 'styled' as they preferred to call it. "You always had to be coordinated up to the eyeballs in nice slacks, wrap dresses or boiler suits." Watch as Kaye Adams breaks silence on Loose Women cuts She continued: "It used to make me shudder, nearly as much as the insane amount of waste on unimaginable amounts of clothes that had mostly only been worn once." Carol sparked a feud with bosses when she left the show, making multiple rebukes including slamming the series for 'shoving woke news down viewers' throats'. It comes as ITV announced redundancies across its Daytime TV shows. More than 220 jobs will be lost as part of the shake-up — almost half of the 450 employed on the four flagship shows GMB, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women. The reshuffle comes amid a desperate cost-cutting drive at the broadcaster, and follows changes already made to its soaps.
