Moment ‘The Twinnies' who speak in near perfect sync brutally shut down gob-smacked Richard Madeley live on GMB
THIS is the bizarre moment 'The Twinnies', who speak in near perfect sync, shut down a gob-smacked Richard Madeley. Bridget and Paula Powers appeared on Good Morning Britain and stunned both Susanna Reid and her co-host. 3 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 sisters were unharmed in the horrifying incident. This comes as another set of twins "shared psychosis". Elsewhere, a different pair of identical twins got engaged to the same man - and they all sleep in one giant bed. Plus, two other twins say telepathy is real - and there's one sticky situation they always use it for to avoid embarrassment. 3

‘World's weirdest TV interview?': Twins go viral for bizarrely synced responses!
Credit: X/@CollinRugg An ordinary news interview about a terrifying carjacking in Queensland has turned into a viral sensation—thanks to a pair of Australian twins whose uncanny synchronicity left viewers stunned. Bridgette and Paula Powers , affectionately known as the 'Twinnies,' were interviewed by 7NEWS Queensland after witnessing a dramatic crash and armed confrontation involving their mother. But instead of the details of the incident alone capturing attention, it was the way the sisters spoke—completing each other's sentences, perfectly in sync, and sometimes speaking word-for-word—that lit up social media. The now-viral clip, posted to X (formerly Twitter), has garnered more than 3 million views, with users calling it a 'top five interview of all time.' The incident unfolded on Steve Irwin Way on the Sunshine Coast at around 12:48 p.m. on Monday, according to Queensland Police. A carjacked SUV rolled over, and the Powers sisters say their mother and a bystander ran to help, only to be confronted by an armed man. Poll Do you think the Twinnies' unique bond is a result of their shared experiences? No, it's just a coincidence. Yes, absolutely! Introducing the story, a 7NEWS anchor narrated: "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." Recalling the terrifying moment, one of the twins said: '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.'' The other twin instantly echoed the words in real time, as they both added: 'And our heart started to pound. And I said, 'Oh, mum, where's mum?' And poor mum was stuck up there.' Credit: X/@AustralianStory They went on to explain how their mother approached the bloodied man to offer help: '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,' they continued. '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.'' Fortunately, the sisters and their mother escaped unharmed. Queensland Police have since confirmed that a 41-year-old Tewantin man has been charged with 15 offences related to the incident. A 22-year-old woman reportedly died from injuries sustained in the crash, and another man was shot. 'Investigations are continuing with further charges likely,' a police spokesperson said in a statement. Who are the 'Twinnies'? Credit: X/@AustralianStory As per ABC News Australia, the sisters were born in Shellharbour, New South Wales, and have lived deeply intertwined lives—sharing everything from clothes to sentences. They co-founded Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue over 20 years ago, dedicating their lives to rehabilitating injured seabirds and operating their center out of the Sunshine Coast. As per New Idea, their mirrored lifestyle is nothing short of remarkable: they dress the same, speak simultaneously, and even sleep in the same room. Their synchronized speech first caught international attention during a 2016 interview with Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain, which he later called 'one of the greatest interviews I've ever conducted.' Their recent viral clip only adds to their legend, with users across social media marveling at their perfectly mirrored mannerisms and emotional delivery. One viewer commented, 'This has to be the world's weirdest TV interview—but I can't stop watching.'

Australian Twins Speak In Unison While Recalling Armed Carjacking, Go Viral
Two identical twin sisters from Queensland are going viral after recalling their frightening encounter with an alleged gunman, but it's not the story that's drawing attention. 'Twinnies' Bridgette and Paula Powers have made headlines on multiple occasions because of their striking resemblance and remarkable ability to finish each other's sentences. The 50-year-old Powers twins described how their mother was captured during an armed carjacking in Queensland, Australia, in an interview with 7News Queensland on Monday, April 21. The sisters described their escape from an unpredictable alleged vehicle thief who emerged with a gun from the wreckage of a rolled SUV. They added that the high-stress scenario that developed on Steve Irwin Way on the Sunshine Coast also involved their mother, Helen, and another man. Bridgette and Paula Powers, wearing identical bunny-covered shirts, spoke in sync and completed each other's sentences during the interview, which was uploaded to X. Witnesses are recounting the mayhem that unfolded on the Sunshine Coast. 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. #7NEWS — 7NEWS Queensland (@7NewsBrisbane) April 21, 2025 'And one guy, he was up there with our mum… he goes, run, he's got a gun,' one sister recalled while the other simultaneously repeated the same words. 'And our heart started to pound. And I said, 'Oh, mum, where's mum?' And poor mum was stuck up there,' they said in unison. They then heard their mother ask the carjacker, who had blood on his face, if he was okay. The man threatened to shoot their mother, the Twinnies recalled. 'Mum distracted him to make him look the other way. And he looked the other way, and Mum ran into the bush behind the fence,' Bridgette and Paula added. The only difference between Bridgette and Paula's combined statement was when one of them said they 'ran for their life' and the other said they 'ran for their safety.' However, they declared themselves "blessed" because the carjacker spared their mother. Several online users, who may not be familiar with the environmentalist twins, have remarked on how their hand movements and speaking patterns mimic each other. One X user said, 'This is freaking amazing! I would love to see a brain wave study of what's going on in their respective auditory cortexes when they speak. Like I wonder if each twin internally processes the other's voice as her own.' This is freaking amazing!

The two are known in Queensland for operating their own animal rescue group. Bridgette and Paula claimed to have started their animal rescue mission after meeting Steve Irwin and developing a connection with him before he died in 2006.
