Peter Andre fans stunned after discovering FKA Twigs used to be his backing dancer

Peter Andre fans were left with their jaws on the floor when they discovered that singing sensation FKA Twigs was once the Mysterious Girl singer's backing dancer.

Fans couldn't believe it when a throwback snap of Peter and a clan of backing dancers resurfaced online, with many commenting on the photo in sheer disbelief.

The set of throwback snaps featuring global mega star FKA Twigs resurfaced online thanks to meme account Love Of Huns, with the whole of Instagram and Twitter taken aback by the revelation.

Taking to Twitter, the popular account wrote: "Obsessed with FKA twigs previously being Peter Andre ’s backup dancer and having piccies taken with Junior and Princess," alongside a series of unearthed snaps.

"This is like something from a parallel universe," one Twitter user penned, while another said: "This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen."

Another user made another revelation, when they said: "Oh wow!! I didn’t know this! She was a back up dancer for Jessie J -do it like a dude too."

While someone else said: "Why does she look like she could be his long lost daughter?"

In the snaps, Peter can be seen posing with the group of dancers, while one of them held his daughter Princess, who is now 14.

One of the other snaps could see Peter's eldest son Junior being held by the superstar.

It is thought by fans that the photos were taken at Hull Freedom Fest in 2009.

FKA Twigs is a 34-year-old English singer-songwriter, whose real name is Tahliah Debrett Barnett.

She was born and raised in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, and then became a backup dancer after she moved to South London at just 17.
