ITV The Neighbourhood viewers say same thing about Scouse twins minutes in

Viewers of ITV’s The Neighbourhood were quick to share their thoughts on Liverpool twins Lyndsey and Louise

ITV audiences have immediately spotted two familiar faces on the brand new game show The Neighbourhood.

Presented by Graham Norton, the programme sees six genuine families from around the UK relocate to a close-knit village competing for a £250,000 prize.

Contestants must build relationships with their neighbours and create alliances strong enough to avoid being voted out. The sole route to safety is securing immunity through various challenges.

Within moments of the opening episode, participants faced a gruelling task suspended seven metres above ground on a moving washing line.

Based purely on initial impressions, the group answered questions about their fellow neighbours, attempting to identify who each question referred to, reports the Mirror.

However, viewers were swiftly distracted by twins Lyndsey and Louise, whom they recognised from Channel 4’s Taskmaster.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one fan commented: “Swear those twins on #TheNeighbourhood were on Taskmaster once.”

Someone else said: “Me clocking the twins from Taskmaster #TheNeighbourhood.”

While a third added: “I know that I watch too much tv when I immediately recognised the twins from Taskmaster #theneighbourhood.”

And yet another viewer commented: “The Thompson Twins from @taskmaster are on that new #theneighbourhood programme.”

Originally from Liverpool, the 25-year-olds boast over 90,000 followers on TikTok and a further 22,000 on Instagram. They previously appeared on Taskmaster Series 20, Episode 3 last year.

The sisters are featuring in the new ITV1 programme together with Lyndsey’s girlfriend Rosie, 28. They’re going head-to-head with The Bradons, The Kandolas and Samra, The Lozman Sturrocks, The Pescuds and The Uni Boys.

Despite being just the opening day of the contest, the households have already cast their votes for which neighbour they wish to see leave the village. Audiences will discover who received the chop in Saturday (April 25) night’s instalment.

Discussing his presenting duties ahead of the series launch, broadcaster Graham explained: “One of the loveliest things about the show is seeing households who would never meet in real life, not only meeting but forming proper bonds of friendship.

“There are a few moments in the show that really do bring a tear to my eye because it’s just so genuine, so lovely and properly heartwarming.”
