Jade Thirlwall and Louis Tomlinson have a lot in common, sure, but fans are now claiming the two may have been separated at birth.

The X Factor alumni were soloists-made-band members and have went on to be ITV's biggest success stories with One Direction and Little Mix dominating pop music.

Although their careers have followed a similar path we've never quite noticed that they are totaldoppelgängers... until now.What?!

Let us explain: Jade shared an adorable old photo of her as a kid for some #tbt action, obviously,giving a cheeky smile mid-biscuitwhile wearing an iconicred adidas zipper.

While many fans were "aww!"-ing away in the comment section, one fan clocked that Mini Thirlwall looks just like Louis, saying "You look like @louist91."

Never one to miss out on a joke, Jade replied almost immediately saying "screamin" and it seems Louis is fully on-board with the conspiracy theory as he liked Jade's comment.

Here at MTV, we love ourselves a conspiracy too so we've done a deep dive into Jaouis Thirlson to find out how legit this could really be.

Of course, we're dealing with members of Little Mix andOne Direction here so the comparisons are already major.Although, Louis has already launched a solo career during 1D's hiatus, and we're definitely not wanting to push for a Little Mix hiatus('never'break up, please!).

Moving on, our doppelgängers areboth English Capricorns - theirbirthdays are just days apart! - who both'love'tea. The signs are there guys.

Wait, though, Louis is known for hating baked beans and as a Northern lass we're sure our Jade is a fan of some beans on toast every now and then, no?

Until we get confirmation on Heinzgate, we do know that Louis is one year older than Jade, so they're definitely not twins. Doppelgängers though? For sure.

What do you think? Let us know on Twitter!
