CHILD superstars Sophia Grace Brownlee and Rosie McClelland appeared on This Morning today 11 years after finding fame in America.
The YouTube sensations from Essex told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield about their amazing life after being catapulted to stardom on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Rosie, 15 was only five years old and her 19-year-old cousin Sophie Grace was eight when their 2011 cover of Nicki Minaj’s song Super Bass went viral on YouTube.
Their subsequent appearances and performance on Ellen’s daytime talk show helped them amass 146.1million views on Ellen’s YouTube page.
But This Morning viewers weren’t quite sure that their fame had reached the UK – despite appearing on Ellen’s show every year for the last ten years.
One person tweeted: “Viral clip? Sorry but I ain’t ever heard of them”
