James Corden's lookalike sisters baffle telly viewers knocking on doors offering money

James Corden’s rarely-seen sisters helmed an exuberant This Morning segment out of the blue on Friday's instalment of the ITV show.

Ruth and Ange Corden took over the Dosh on your Doorstep segment, which sees This Morning presenters appear at a random Brit’s door, giving them a chance of winning £1,000.

The segment is normally run by Josie Gibson or Alison Hammond, but Josie was sat in the studio hosting the ITV daytime show alongside Vernon Kay.

However, fans were left confused as to why The Late Late Show host’s sisters were running the segment, with many slamming the call as an example of “nepotism at its finest”.

Taking to twitter, one fan wrote: “Erm, why are James Corden's sisters doing Dosh on your doorstep?” as another wrote: “Who are these women? Eh? James Corden's sisters? What?”

A third posted: “James Corden's sisters? Oh ffs more nepotism at it's finest.”

Another chimed: “Hi, we're Ruth & Andrea, and we only got this gig on This Morning because our brother is James Corden…”

As the pair hosted an exuberant instalment of the segment, one savage fan tweeted: “These two on This Morning, making James look like the less annoying shy quiet one in the family."

“Kind of have to question the parenting skills of Mr & Mrs Corden, given all their kids are absolutely unbearable,” another fan tweeted, as one chimed: “Jeez how annoying are these two. Must run in the family.”

The sisters have previously appeared on the show, sitting in the studio with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield to talk about their brother, who now lives in Los Angeles, but has announced he will soon be returning to the UK.

Ruth and Ange revealed that James didn't make it back to the UK for Christmas in previous years due to his busy life across the pond.

"We are a close family, we're really fortunate that we get on well and love spending time together," the sisters explained.

When Holly and Phil asked about their stand out "pinch me moments", they weren't expecting certain details of their response.

"We flew on a private jet with James back to LA and I'll never forget the day before getting an email that said, 'have you got anything you want on board the jet? What do you wanna eat?'" Ruth revealed.

When Holly asked what she had, she replied: "I was really boring, I had boiled eggs!" which left Holly and Phillip in fits of laughter.

"All that way in a plane on boiled eggs!" Phillip shouted, as Ruth added: "I look back now and I totally messed it up!"

She went on to recall that the three of them watched a Christmas film on the private jet and all fell asleep.
