Blast from the past.

If you consider yourself a fountain of X Factor knowledge, you'll recall Same Difference from the 2007 series. The brother and sister duo made it to the final of the reality TV show but came third, with Leon Jackson crowned the winner and Rhydian Roberts making second place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVQgSKutmyQ Although Sean and Sarah had a couple of song releases after the show, they went their separate ways in 2014 and now Sean is back to relaunch his music career. To go along with his new musical direction, he has had a massive change of image and it's safe to say he's barely recognisable now.

Hope you all enjoyed my interview on @loosewomen today ? #SeanSmith #NewMusic #Energise #Xfactor #Music #loosewomen #seansmithmagic

Meanwhile, Sarah is at the helm of the Same Difference pop academy, located in Portsmouth, which the siblings set up a couple of years ago. Chatting to The Sun, Sarah said it's going well thus far. "It’s going amazingly well. I was expecting for the first year to struggle but it’s been a brilliant start. "I have found some ridiculously talented kids and the people of Portsmouth have really embraced the studios and all of the classes we put on". Main image via YouTube/ X Factor
