Pj and Duncan

Walk into any teenage girls bedroom and you will usually find her walls plastered with posters of the pop stars she wants to marry; usually with their perfectly coiffured hair and fake white smiles beaming right back at you.

So we at FemaleFirst have decided to count down the Top 10 Nineties pin up icons, who we were constantly cutting out of Smash Hits and Top Of The Pops magazines and carefully blue-tacking to our walls, school books and mirrors.

Number 8 - PJ and Duncan

Okay, so it might be two guys rather than one, but it would be impossible to spilt this cheeky pair up as you can’t have on without the other, just like salt without pepper, black without white, and Jordan without Peter…okay maybe not.

PJ and Duncan first started out separately in kids television series Biker Grove, with Declan Donnelly joining in 1989 and Anthony McPartlin joining a year later in 1990. But their friendship soon began when their storylines collided, creating a friendship off screen as well as on.

But, like so many soaps stars before them, and many more afterwards, they were keen to dip their toe in the wide ocean of the pop industry and soon released songs such as "Why Me? (Is It Justified)", "Our Radio Rocks" and The Monkees cover “Stepping Stone.”

They chose to keep their Biker Grove character names and it was under these alter-ego’s that they released 15 singles and 3 studio albums as well as being the proud recipients of a BRIT Award nomination for their timeless and catchy "Let's Get Ready to Rhumble" tune, which is still heard in nightclubs up and down the country.
