32nd Annual Twins Days Festival

On a break whilst filming the A-Team over the weekend Jamie managed to pop along to the 32nd Annual Twins Days Festival. Twins Days is a festival for biological twins which has taken place every summer since 1976 in Twinsburg, Ohio. It is the largest annual gathering of twins in the world. The event has twin based contests, "talent" shows, and a parade and routinely draws thousands of participants from all over the world.

Coincidently, Jamie's stunt double for the A-Team was none other than his long lost twin brother, Colin Spencer. The identical pair narrowly missed out on being crowned festival champions to a Charlie and Craig Reid from Auchtermuchty, Scotland.

Unfortunately Colin did not take the defeat well and could not forgive Jamie for dropping the baton during the talent section of the competition. The act involved a complicated display of baton twirling and featured a Macaque monkey, Two Bengal tigers and a 5 year old child called Trevor. Colin was so angry that he later visited a local plastic surgeon and now resembles a young Bonnie Langford.

Here you can seem Jamie and Colin posing for the cameras before the results were announced.
