THREE Brighton sisters today sang live in front of millions of TV viewers when they entertained Channel 4 Big Breakfast hosts Johnny Vaughan and Denise Van Outen.

Twins Emma and Amy Baker, eight, and their sister Jade, nine, were driven from their home in Moulsecoomb to London at 4.30am to appear on the hit show. Their appearance was all thanks to their mum Jackie, 36, who heard about the show's Pushy Mother feature. Housewife Jackie, of The Crescent, who was in London with the girls today, said: "I am just so pushy. I have got to get the girls to stardom. They are such brilliant kids. They can go all the way, I know they can." She added: "They sang to staff from the show down the telephone and sent in a tape, and then got picked. They are really good. "They were so excited. I'm hoping they get spotted and get a job out of it." The three girls wore special costumes when they performed their own version of the recent hit No Way, No Way by chart topping all-girl band Vanilla. The girls, all pupils at Moulsecoomb Junior School, have already been under the spotlight. Jade raised money for the Red Cross by singing Spice Girls songs at school and Emma presented flowers to Prince Andrew. Their brother Lee, 13, stayed at home to watch his sisters on TV.
