They immediately won over the audience with their adorable English accents, obsession with rapping, and radically different personalities.
While Sophia Grace was loud and proud, Rosie was quieter, but no less vibrant.
They jumped at the chance to perform on the show.

Ellen arranged the ultimate surprise for them.
They adored Nicki, so Ellen did as Ellen always does: stepped things up a notch.
She surprised the girls with Nicki herself, who sent the girls into tiny, adorable hysterics immediately.
Nicki sang with them, naturally.
Sophia rapped so fast that not even Nicki could keep up with her…even though it was her own song.
People immediately fell for the two. The video of them meeting Nicki has over 137 million views .
Ellen then drafted the two for many more videos.
Some of them included the duo hitting red carpets to interview celebrities.
This mostly comprised Sophia yelling and singing at them while Rosie bounced excitedly. The best part was how happy each celeb seemed to be to meet them!
She also let them go shopping on her dime.
“I have adopted them. Just the blonde one. She seems easier,” Ellen joked.
Ellen sent the two to Toys ‘R Us at let them go wild . They wound up with two cartfuls worth of toys, which is what they deserved.
Now, they’re teenagers!
Rosie is 12, and Sophia is 15.
