Swindon twins are to appear on The Voice on ITV this weekend four years after their first TV appearance.
Billy and Louie appeared on Little Mix: The Search, impressing the judges to progress through the first round with all four votes.
Now 21, the twins will be televised nationally again on Saturday as they try to impress Sir Tom Jones, Will.i.am and new judges LeAnn Rimes, Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones.
Louie Hughes said: “We've been considering it for years, absolutely years. But I think we were just apprehensive that we wanted to make sure it was the right time.
“I'm so happy now that we've waited because we've had enough time to work our craft and make sure that we love what we're doing.”
In the years since Little Mix, the duo have been busy performing and releasing an EP with six songs - with an upcoming show at the Wyvern.

During this time, the boys have developed a lot from when they were teenagers, with the addition of a band and extra support.
Louie explained: “It's so full of energy compared to what we used to do when we were just starting out.
“I think people really notice the energy change and just that we're comfortable doing what we do.”
They also manage three choirs, one of which performed on the album and who will all be watching on Saturday - all 50 choir ladies.
Meanwhile, Louie and Billy will be watching with their family. They already know the result having filmed the audition in February, with it now “seeming like years ago”.
After a long break, Louie is happy to be back competing again. He said: “I'm feeling really excited.
“It's good to be doing something like this again, it's been years since we filmed our last TV appearance, and we were just 16.
“So it's nice to be doing it again, and hopefully we will be, if not as successful, even more successful.”
He added: “We want to showcase how much we've grown recently, and how we've developed with the recent release of our EP, and all our life performances we've been doing.
“I think it's going to to a really nice opportunity for people to catch up with what we've been doing, and see how much we've grown.”
Billy and Louie will appear on The Voice on ITV at 8.30pm on Saturday, September 14.
They will be performing at Swindon’s Wyvern Theatre on Thursday, February 6 2025 joined by their six-piece band.
