Love Island

A video of a Love Island contestant has resurfaced, after they auditioned for The X Factor UK back in 2013 and it is so cringey. You need to watch ASAP.

Cassie Lansdell, who is currently starring in the Australian version of the hit ITV show, auditioned alongside her best friend Katrina. They called themselves Duplex.

And if you're wondering "Why Duplex?", don't worry, we've got you an answer. They were called Duplex because they are “a duplicate of each other” or “one person cut in half”. BFF goals.

During their chat with the judges, the pair revealed they were singing Call My Name by Cheryl and were auditioning as they wanted to "break" America and believed they could be global superstars.

NOW WATCH: Duplex audition for The X Factor UK

With their matching suits and skull printing beige scarfs, the pair then started to sing a stripped down version of the number one song, and it really didn't go to plan.

However, their performance was soon cut short by the judges and Gary Barlow absolutely roasted the duo. He really wasn't impressed, especially after Cassie stars RAPPING and the judging panel burst out laughing.

The lead singer of Take That said, “You really are one of the same person, you both can’t sing. Really awful singing. It wasn’t nerves – you just can’t sing.”

Sharon Osbourne sits observing the girls with her mouth open, shocked at what she just witnessed, while Nicole Scherzinger says, "Thanks girls."

Since her appearance on The X Factor, Cassie has also gone on to feature on Made In Chelsea, before moving to Australia six years ago.

She has since made headlines in Aus for being in the first same-sex couple on the Aussie version of the English show.
