The Paul O’Grady Twins - Showbiz Presenters

Now Viewing: Icon Nick & Jon (Morgan Twins)

Although physically identical Nick and Jon’s personalities couldn’t be further apart. Born in Sidcup Kent the 25 year old twins are best known as ‘The Morgan Twins’ or ‘The Paul O’Grady Twins’ having spend the last five years on the popular prime time TV show which has seen the boys challenged to a number of tasks from rock climbing, pot holing, circus tricks, camping on a glacier, synchronized swimming and attending the police academy.


With their cute looks and cheeky charm the twins started modeling at the very early age of three and became the face of Mothercare and Littlewoods. When they were five years old they were offered the role of the young Kray twins in the film, this would have meant taking a long period of time out of school and education and the school would have had no choice but to expel them. Turning the jobs down Nick and Jon continued in school, with Jon taking both of their math’s exams and Nick doing both of their art exams.


From school the boys both chose to study media at college, but both dropped out after 18 months when Jon was offered a job at the Independent working in production and Nick was offered a job in finance at the Mirror.  After a year in the job the boys went off to Tenerife on a holiday and returned to the UK six months later, it is then when the boys started working in front of the TV cameras.


At 20 years old the boys were gorgeous, charming and had a keen eye for the ladies and were asked to appear in a Sky One TV show called ‘Back to The Beach’ where they had to rekindle a holiday romance to see if they would feel the same when back on home ground. A hit with the producers and crew the boys were soon invited back to appear on another Sky One show ‘How Gay Are You?’, it was a search to find the UK’s ideal man and test male vanity levels. Jon got down to the final four but failed a task when put in a room of mirrors. Nick went on to win the show.


Once again, winning over the crew behind the scenes a researcher from ‘How Gay Are You’ put them forward for the roving reporters role on The New Paul O’Grady show and the boys have never looked back, 5 years on the cockney twins have done things they never would have dreamed possible, the show has seen them travel the world with trips to Milan, Arctic Circle, Route 66, Cannes Film Festival to name a few. Most recently Nick and Jon spent a week with raunchy author Jackie Collins and name her as one of their favorite interviewees, along with Barbara Windsor, Robbie Williams, Pele, Matt Damon, and Jessica Alba.   


In between the show they also appeared at the beginning of Coronation Street when Cadburys signed them to front their double chocolate adverts
