Both the youngsters absolutely wowed the judges, audience and viewers at home with their BGT performances, but it turns out Beau Dermott and Jack Higgins have more than raw talent in common…

… yup, Beau 12, and Jack, 14 are cousins! Don’t we feel silly for not noticing that they basically look identical?

Which is not surprising, considering the little singer and budding ballet dancer’s mums are twins.

Beau performed Wicked’s Defying Gravity on the opening show last week, and left the entire nation with a tears in their eyes.

It was no surprise when judge Amanda Holden fast tracked the musical star to the live semi finals, giving her the golden buzz of approval.

On last Saturday night’s show, Jack moved everyone with his ballet performance that had judge David Walliams naming him ‘Billy Elliot.’

Despite the fact the cousins will be going head-to-head, however, Beau and Jack couldn't be happier to go up against one another in the competition.

Speaking to the Sun newspaper, the dancer said: “It would be amazing to both be in the final together.

"We are completely different acts so it wouldn't feel like we're competing against each other.'

“We’d love to be in a musical together.'”

And we’d LOVE to watch it!

Jack has already earned himself a celeb following, with many taking to Twitter to praise the young talent.

Wouldn’t it be great to see these two in the final together? We think so…
