Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to party because guess who's back? That's right, it's The Cheeky Girls! I'm sure you all remember them from their hit song "Touch My Bum" back in 2003. Well, brace yourselves, because the Romanian singing duo, made up of identical twins Gabriela and Monica Irimia, is back and better than ever at the age of 41. And let me tell you, they haven't aged a day.
Just this past weekend, they graced the stage at Chester Pride, sporting their signature matching outfits and silver hot-pants. It was a blast from the past as they danced and sang their hearts out, still oozing the same energy and charisma that made them famous 22 years ago. Their glittering silver bralettes and shimmering crop-top cardigans, paired with their killer heels, were a sight to behold.
It's hard to believe that it's been 22 years since they appeared on Popstars: The Rivals, the same show that launched Girls Aloud to stardom. But the Cheeky Girls made their mark on the UK charts with four top 10 hits between 2002 and 2004. And let's not forget their iconic song "The Cheeky Song," which was actually written by their mother and sold over 1.2 million copies worldwide. Their debut album, PartyTime, also reached number 14 on the UK Albums Chart in 2003.
As they posed for pictures at Chester Pride, it was evident that Monica and Gabriela still have the same infectious energy and love for performing. And we have to admit, we still can't tell them apart. But that's just part of their charm.
But what happened to the Cheeky Girls after their rise to fame? Well, in a recent interview with the Daily Mail, they revealed that they were working as salespeople for local car dealerships. Behind the scenes, they were battling eating disorders and dealing with bankruptcy and botched breast surgeries. It's a reminder that the pressure of fame can take its toll, but these sisters have come out stronger on the other side.
Monica shared, "I think the British public have a perception that if you are, or have been, in the public eye or a pop star, you’re not allowed to try something else. But we've chosen another career path and we're very proud of it. I've always said it's no shame to work, it's a shame not to work."
So, let's give a round of applause for the Cheeky Girls, who have not only made a comeback in the music industry but have also overcome their struggles and found success in a new career. And as they continue to spread joy and happiness with their music and their work, we can't help but feel proud of how far they've come. Keep shining, ladies!
