Anyone remember Emily from teen big brother? She was there with her brother (not sure it was billy though) and they used to practice the same act in the back garden. they were circus performers at that time

No, but don't see them getting very far in BGT, once you have seen this act once, that going to be it, unless they can do something really different.

They do lots of different (circus) things, she was on the German version with a completely different act in a ball

Both Emily and Billy were on Big Brother Celebrity Hijack but went by their real names Emilia and Victor. Don't know why they have changed their names. Thought I recognised them when they came on last night, but assumed I was wrong because their names were different.

They clearly wanted us to believe they were JUST a random brother and sister who skated together. They forgot to mention the circus act and the fact she's from 8 generations of circus acts. Would be like having The Beatles on (late 60s) and saying they were just a group of mates who sing occasionally

I thought Billy was Victor too but actually he isn't, he IS Billy, her eldest brother.

Emilia's first name is actually Carmen. She's named after her mother Carmen Garcia.

Victor's real name is Vittorio.

Billy's full name is Billy Francesco Arata.

Francesco is the father.

Billy is the eldest, then Vittorio then Carmen Emilia.

And they were all born in Birmingham, including the father. The mother is Irish.

I checked all this on Ancestry.co.uk btw.

Aw ok - I read here that their real names were Emilia and Victor, I did wonder how Victor became Billy, I guess this article just got it wrong. http://www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/britains-talents-daredevil-skate-pairs-5503826

I knew I had seen them before, but I thought they were foreign. They were also on the BB programme that Anthony Ogogo was on.

Can't believe Simon Cowell thought it was something new.

Ohhh..it was that Emily???:o:o

You've got it wrong though, you're thinking of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack, not Teen Big Brother, and of course her name is Emilia.

R82n8 · 13/04/15 - 07:51

It reminded me of Cersei and Jaime Lannister on rollerskates.

I read on the main show forum that they have a Brother, Victor.

Is he a Dwarf?

lewismacf · 13/04/15 - 10:41

They are amazing

[Deleted User] · 13/04/15 - 11:10

they will on dancing on ice next..did the same head banger routine..I hope she tied her hair back in a pony tail, as that could have caused serious accident if she had loose hair all dangling round

lewismacf · 13/04/15 - 11:15

Any act involving Danger I am a massive fan of

Yes, the article is wrong.

It's the Mirror though so I'm not surprised.:p

Billy is Billy Francesco Arata not Vittorio "Victor" Arata.

Vittorio was Billy's younger brother so Victor was named after him.They just repeated their names

Both Billy and Vittorio the senoirs were wire walkers.

Kromm · 13/04/15 - 21:39

Ah, it wouldn't be reality TV if it didn't include some crass recycling of people who'd been on previous reality shows.

I'm getting confused. lol

So there's Billy, Vittorio and Francesco Arata (brothers) and Francesco (The father) named his son's Billy and Vittorio AKA Victor after them?

I think they could win!

It's a hugely talented act and one that most people will definitely want to see more of.

Actually, they won't. Dancing On Ice was axed.

I'm surprised to see very low number of views for this on Youtube. Singing / Talking dog is a surprise hit on Youtube!

Wouldn't call it a 'surprise hit'. It's something different. And it's the unique stuff that always gets the most views on YouTube.

I thought she reminded me of Emilia from BBCH. But I didn't recognise him as Victor (obviously) and they had different names so I didn't think it was her/them.

But like you, I thought they had foreign accents on BBCH.

Littlegreen42 · 14/04/15 - 22:34

Victor is part of 'The Skating Aratas', they perform in Las Vegas...

I'm not sure whether this is another brother?

Hey there!
