The nation's favourite twins, now collectively known as Samanda after they captivated Big Brother audiences, make their recording debut with the release of their new single "Barbie Girl" available to download on 24 September, 2007 and followed a week later by the physical release on October 1st in the UK.

The record was made two days after the girls, Sam and Amanda, left the Big Brother house. They were immediately signed to global recording giants SonyBMG who had spotted their potential throughout their summer-long stay in the house. The single, a cover version of Aqua's number one hit, was the natural choice for the twins who charmed viewers by with their own distinctive version of the song in the Big Brother UK house.

A stunning video will accompany the release of the single - which has been produced by the legendary pop team, Metro which is responsible for best sellers for artists including Cher, Kylie Minogue and Enrique Inglesias.

The twins said: "It's a dream come true for us to record our favourite song of all time and. We're just so excited about everything and keep having to pinch ourselves to make sure its all real!"

A spokesperson for SonyBMG added: "It is a measure of how much viewers identified with the Twins that they were the only BB contestants never to have been nominated for a single eviction. They are also the only BB contestants ever have to have signed with a major record company. Superstardom beckons for them."
