Shanice & Andrea – a day in their lives

12-year-old identical twins Shanice and Andrea Nyandoro are the winners of
The Voice Kids UK 2023. These twins from Leicester are difficult to distinguish 1 as
they have got the same long black hair, the same eye colour and the same smile.
Be careful because you never know who is who!
5 Do you want to know what their day is like? Well, they don’t sing all day, but Andre
most of it! They get up really early, at 6.30 a.m. because they have to catch the
bus to school. They never leave home without having breakfast. Classes start at 8 Shanice
a.m. They only have classes in the morning, so they never have lunch in the
school canteen. They have lunch at home with their father. In the afternoon, guess what they do after they do
10 homework? They sing and sing… They practise new songs and sometimes they write their own lyrics, too. They
also post videos with their songs and dance moves on TikTok. At 8 p.m. dinner is ready. They help their mother
and after dinner they listen to some music. At 10 p.m. it is time to go to bed. Their day is about to get very busy
after winning this prize, but their biggest dream is to continue singing. As their coach Will.i.am says: “They are the
Wonder Twins.”
