Same Difference avoid love song duets

Brother/sister duo Same Difference have devised a cunning trick to avoid singing love songs to each other on The X Factor.

Sean and Sarah Smith were alarmed when Simon Cowell, their musical mentor, asked them to sing romantic numbers on the ITV1 talent show, but they have managed to make the best of a difficult situation by singing into the eyes of strangers.

Sarah said: "It's really difficult having to sing love songs, but obviously most duets are like that, so normally we request a dancer to sing to, so we don't have to sing to each other – that's wrong!

"I say 'Can I have a fittie please?' and Sean will have one too, then we just turn our backs to each other and sing outwards."
