Phil said: 'We hope they're going to be here because actually they're so retro, they went to the old studio on the South Bank.

'It's being pulled down so they will be covered in builders dust and God knows what.' Holly added: 'They're currently travelling across London trying to get here.' 

While the singing sisters are relishing their resurgence with new single Let's Have Fun, there was a time their career faced great adversity.

Happy couple: Monica tied the knot today to her long-term boyfriend Shaun Taylor in 2016 

Monica and Gabriela were studying law in their native Romania when their mother Margit Semal entered them for Popstars: The Rivals.

Margit was the lyricist for her daughters' smash hit Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum), writing the noughties classic in just a day after producers got in touch. 

Despite Monica recalling her and Gabriela's initial response as 'no way', they soon began to relate to the song and believed it was 'made for them.' 

Looking back on their audition, Monica revealed that Louis Walsh took them for transsexuals as the Irish talent show judge, 69, questioned whether they were actually girls.

She said: 'He definitely thought we are transsexuals, because we had short hair... literally no boobs. I really didn't like my hair, to be fair, back then. I didn't like looking back at the pictures. It was awful for me.'

Yet Monica believes their noted uniqueness contributed to their fame.

Elsewhere in the interview, the twins explained how they resorted to boob jobs after their record label enlisted a body double for the video of their 2003 single Take Your Shoes Off.

Their slender frames meant their bodies rejected the implants and multiple follow-up surgeries were required to fix them. 

£100,000 splashed out between them, they have no regrets, with Monica admitting she is 'so glad' she went under the knife.

Gabriela also spoke of her former high-profile relationship with then Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik, 57. 

The pair were together for two years and were set to marry before Lib Dem party bosses began to meddle.

The singer explained that her former fiancé was 'torn', because he wanted the relationship and to 'do everything' with the press, but his party meanwhile wanted to control him - and them as an 'act.'

Gabriela also recalled a time when she was asked by the party moguls to dress more conservatively - namely in knee-length instead of mini skirts - something she remarked 'wasn't very Cheeky Girls'.
