TV viewers were full of praise for two singing sisters from Carnforth after they appeared on a prime time Saturday night show.

Gabriella and Jasmine Tuicicia performed as the 'Unexpected Stars of the Show' on Michael McIntyre's Big Show on Saturday night.

The schoolgirls sang the Burt Bacharach classic 'Walk on By' and TV viewers were clearly blown away by their performance.

Twitter users said Gabriella and Jasmine, who perform at local festivals and venues, were "incredible" and "phenomenal".

The girls were nominated to appear on the show by their parents Sarah and Josh, who watched proudly in the audience at The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London.

They sang 'Walk On By' because it was their grandparents' favourite song.

The programme was filmed before the death of Burt Bacharach last week.

Viewers said it was a fitting tribute to the legendary composer.

Gabriella and Jasmine posted on their Facebook page after their appearance.

"We loved performing on Michael McIntyre's Big Show," they said.

"We are truly grateful to Michael and everyone at hungry Bear Media and all involved with the show for making it happen.

"Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

"Our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the talented Burt Bacharach who wrote the song we performed.

"Thank you to all the people who continue to support us."

Earlier in the programme, Gabriella and Jasmine had been surprised by Michael McIntyre in disguise!

The comedian pretended to be an Australian sport coach called 'Logan Harvey', complete with blond wig and moustache.

The girls had gone to what they thought was a sport training session with Harvey, only to be stunned when the stand-up comic revealed his true identity and told them they would be singing on his show!

Celebrities Stacy Dooley, Olly Murs and Alexander Armstrong were also special guests on the programme.
