An amazing story!

The gorgeous Rochelle Humes has opened up about reuniting with her sister after 23 years apart.

And weirdly, their reunion was all down to Love Island’s Kem.

Chatting on Giovanna Fletcher’s podcast, the former Saturdays singer spoke about meeting her sister for the first time in over 20 years.

“I’ve never told anyone this before. Two years ago, I was at our management’s Christmas party and Love Island’s Kem was there,” she said.

“He was chatting away and said, ‘I got to talk to you… as soon as I became a celeb, I promised my friend Lili that I would talk to you as she’s your sister on your dad’s side’.”

The story then continued:

“I knew of her and met up with her when I was five, but it was so complicated as they were a lot younger and my dad wasn’t involved.”

And then came the story of how they reconnected…

“On a drunken night out, Kem asked me if he could give her my number.”

“She WhatsApped me and I didn’t reply till the morning. We planned to go out for dinner with my other sister and brother and I made Marvin come with me because I was so scared.”

“We are literally the same people, Marvin was like, ‘OMG, there’s more of you.'”

And lads, they literally are the same human.

“We’ve spoken every day since – Jeremy Kyle style. It’s like we’ve known each other all our lives.”

What a fab story!
