ITV has launched brand new series The Neighbourhood, fronted by beloved presenter Graham Norton
ITV viewers have instantly recognised two contestants on brand new competition The Neighbourhood.
Hosted by Graham Norton, the show follows six real families from across the UK as they move into a tight-knit village for the chance to win £250,000.
They must make nice with their neighbours and form strong enough alliances to dodge elimination. The only way to stay safe is to bag immunity during a series of challenges.
Just minutes into the first episode, the contestants took on a brutal challenge where they were suspended seven metres in the air on a moving washing line.
Relying on just their first impressions, the cast were asked questions about their fellow neighbours and had to identity who each question was about.
But viewers were quickly distracted by twins Lyndsey and Louise, who 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.”
Hailing from Liverpool, the 25-year-olds have over 90,000 followers on TikTok and an additional 20,000 on Instagram. They also featured on Taskmaster Series 20, Episode 3 last year.
The sisters are taking part in the new ITV1 series alongside Lyndsey’s girlfriend Rosie, 28. They are competing against The Bradons, The Kandolas & Samra, The Lozman Sturrocks, The Pescuds and The Uni Boys.
Although it’s only the first day of the competition, the families have already voted for the neighbour they want to move out of the village. Fans will find out who got the boot in Saturday (April 25) night’s episode.
Speaking of his role as host before the series premiered, 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.”
The Neighbourhood is available to stream now on ITVX
