Kate was born on 9 January 1982 so she would have celebrated her 12th birthday in 1994. Jamaican reggae duo Chaka Demus & Pliers topped the chart at the time with their cover of Top Notes' Twist and Shout. They were also famous for their other hits Tease Me and Murder She Wrote.
Meanwhile, Meghan, who was born in Los Angeles on 4 August 1981, turned 12 in 1993. At that time, British boyband Take That celebrated with their first number one single Pray, which stayed at the top of the UK chart for four weeks. Across the pond, Birmingham-based reggae band, UB40, had climbed to number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, with their version of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling In Love.
