Pop duo look unrecognisable as they ditch their trademark quiffs to transform into Liam and Noel Gallagher – but do YOU know who they are?

A pop duo have ditched their trademark looks to transform into brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher. 

In August, the Oasis siblings finally put their 15-year feud on ice to announce they will be performing together again, 34 years after their first gig.

As part of Heat’s most iconic images of 2024, former Celebrity Big Brother twins channelled their inner rockstars as they recreated the photoshoot. 

Dying their peroxide blond locks dark and sporting identical outfits to Noel and Liam’s, the pair bore a striking resemblance to the brothers. 

But can YOU guess who they are?

That’s right, it’s Jedward! 

Despite only coming sixth on The X Factor 15 years ago, Jedward – twins John and Edward Grimes –  forged a successful showbusiness career after being taken under the wing of Louis Walsh.

With Louis as their mentor, the identical Irish twins became the talent show’s most memorable duo with their matching quiffs and outlandish outfits.

Their towering hair, matching outfits and personalities became the trademark look for the Dublin pop duo – who were hailed ‘role models’ by a proud Louis – and they were quickly transformed from a novelty act to superstars.

Under Louis’ guidance, Jedward’s first two albums went platinum in Ireland, while they also represented their country at in 2011 and 2012.

The Irish music mogul Walsh managed the pair between 2009 and 2013, but things turned sour when, in 2016, Walsh described the duo as ‘the most embarrassing thing to happen to him’.

This sparked a bitter seven-year feud between Jedward and Walsh, which has culminated in the brothers branding Walsh an ‘evil manipulator’ after he told fellow housemates the pair were ‘vile’ during Tuesday’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother.

‘I am so overwhelmed doing this – I honestly feel like I’m in Oasis, going on this massive stadium tour,’ Edward said.

‘I think they’ve literally taken over my body. This experience has been absolutely mind- blowing. I’ll never forget this day.’

John added: ‘I’m channelling the music, I’m challenging the vibes. I’m ready to go off and write some bangers.’

Edward began to impersonate Oasis as he said: ‘The only difference between us and Jedward is the hair.’

‘Literally, we saw the bond that Jedward had together, and they’ve stuck at it for about 15 years now,’ John added.

‘No fights, no big tiffs. We said, “You know what? Let’s get the band back together. Let’s be more like Jedward. Let’s get the music rolling. We’ll do it for the fans”.’

Liam and Noel will reportedly rake in a joint £6million for each of the 33 stadium gigs of their sell out tour next year but ‘they have to perform to be paid’.

It will be the first time they will perform on stage together since breaking up in 2009 following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in France.

The Gallaghers will reportedly also be kept apart when not on stage in a ‘military style operation’ during their much-anticipated reunion tour.

There will be separate dressing rooms and transport to avoid a clash and resulting ‘PR and financial nightmare’.
