Fans couldn't get over the similarities between Catheryne and her sister Alex and many were delighted to see the 'other' Michaels sister on the show.

People took to Twitter to voice their shock and delight at Catheryne watching the telly with her family.

Joanne said: "The revelation that the girl from the Michaels family on #gogglebox has been 2 people this whole time has changed my perception of reality."

John wrote: "WHAT? Twins? All this time I thought it was the same person!! #gogglebox."
Another user joked: "Most important part of tonight's #gogglebox: the Michaels family have let their daughter's clone out of the cellar."

Someone else added: "First the Moffatts, now The Michaels - has every #Gogglebox family got a daughter hidden in the attic?"

Johnny wrote: "Mind blown. There are 2 sisters on the Michaels sofa. What. But. How. When? #gogglebox #sisters."

The family, who hail from Brighton, usually consists of dad Andrew, mum Carolyne, daughter Alex and their son Louis with Catheryne making on odd appearance.

Her rare appearance on the couch follows on from when Scarlett Moffatt, 25, was out-sassed by her younger sister Ava when she made her debut earlier this year.

Scarlett was out-witted by Ava when she questioned her nutritional knowledge, much to the nation's delight.

It all started when Scarlett said he didn't know the 'no added sugar' label on food and drinks packaging does not actually mean the item contains no sugar at all.

Ava responded quickly saying: "Scarlett, I'm a nine year old and even I know that and you're 25."

Meanwhile, Scarlett, who is a size 16, has vowed to change her lifestyle to ditch the pounds.

Scarlett, who used to be a ballroom dancer, recently told Closer magazine that she stopped working out when she went to university and developed a love for alcohol and kebabs.

She said: "I've been dancing since I was five; I danced every day. "It was really intense training, but I stopped when I was a student and discovered alcohol and kebabs, and I've never found any exercise to replace it."

She also revealed that a recent health scare has pushed her to change her lifestyle and drop the pounds.

She said: "I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I can't even remember the last time I exercised.

"I used to be super fit, but now I'm getting out of breath just running up the stairs.

"I knew I was overweight but when I went to the doctor for a check up, she said: 'You're not overweight, you're obese.'

"She explained that my BMI was in the danger zone, I was 'pre-diabetic,' and that if I carried on the way I was, I could develop Type 2 diabetes.

"I'm only 25 and I'm annoyed I've let this happen."

She has also signed a lucrative weightloss DVD deal which is set to be released around Christmas.
