Australia’s Most Identical twins have been crowned – sisters Yvette and Linda officially won the title after a vote was cast by a group of 100 other identical twins.
Over two nights, 100 sets of identical twins from across the country underwent a fascinating series of tests and challenges to determine who was the most alike duos.
Out of that 100, the group shrunk to a top 20, then a top eight and eventually a final three pairs – teacher twins Yvette and Linda, TikTok twins Jason and Jayden and wildlife warriors Bridget and Zeph.

“The winners of Australia’s Most Identical are….our WA teachers Yvette and Linda,” host Scott Cam announced.
Yvette and Linda, 58, claimed their trophy – a sculpture of a strand of DNA which could appropriately be split into two so each twin could take one home.
“I think all of us are very identical, we are all very special and we are all amazing for research,” Yvette and Linda said of all the twins vying for the title.
“All the eight finalists were amazing. We all need to cut this trophy into eight pieces and give everyone a piece.

“The friendships we formed have been amazing and it’s so nice to be around people who are twins.
“We are very lucky to be twins, very lucky.”
Yvette and Linda’s twin journey

They’re fast paced talkers with a zest for life and share the same zany sense of style with both of them loving op shopping.

One of the biggest challenges the twins have faced is that Yvette survived both breast and bowel cancer while Linda remained cancer free.
Opening up about that emotional time in their lives, Yvette said: “I knew that death could happen but I never ever thought of leaving Linda on her own. That would’ve killed me.”
At times they’ve lived very different and separate lives espcially as they found partners and started their own families.
Of all the challenges Yvette and Linda underwent to prove their likeness, they came out on top in most of them.
In one task they had to go into a shop and pick out an outfit separetly.
Despite having zero communication with one another Yvette and Linda were the only pair to walk out in exactly the same outfit.
A painting task tested their unspoken connection and the sisters proved that yet again when they revealed spookily similar artworks even though they never spoke about it.
