Newlyweds Vince and Jo Gower were amazed when they realised a pair of gatecrashers at their reception were pop stars the Cheeky Girls.

Vince and Jo Gower, of Leigh, were holding their wedding bash at the Essex County Hotel, in Aviation Way, Eastwood.

The 20-year-old Romanian twins came across the party as they returned to their rooms after performing at nearby Club Ego.

Hotel general manager Mark Cotman said: "The function manager invited the Cheeky Girls in to surprise the bride and groom.

"They were more than delighted to do so and as they walked in the DJ yelled out their names and put on one of their songs."
