Billy: We’re brother and sister, and we’re roller skaters. We started roller skating when we were little kids.
Emily: I was five and my brother was eight. Our mother saw on TV some roller skaters. And she thought, “Oh that elegant and safe — something nice that we can do together. So she bought us roller skates . . . and from that moment on, we were hooked.

Amanda: It was dangerous and fresh. So I congratulate you for being so exciting to roller skating and Britain’s Got Talent.
Simon: I’ve seen a lot of roller skating acts on this show; normally they are horrific, cause what can you do on a stage with roller skates?

I mean it’s incredible. Really incredible.
