The Cheeky Girls are a Romanian singing duo consisting of identical twin sisters Gabriela and Monica Irimia.

The Press Office contacted Paul Holland at Granada Ventures, who was able to secure them a deal with the Multiply label, part of Telstar Records.

On 7 March 2013, the women appeared on the This Week BBC TV programme discussing the subject of Romanian immigration to the UK with host Andrew Neil.
