DRESSED up to the nines in heels and slinky, glam outfits, the four stunning sisters standing at the bar know they’re the centre of attention. They may be aged between 32 and 47, but people constantly struggle to tell who’s the eldest and youngest, and two are regularly mistaken for twins - despite having a decade between them. Born and brought up in Cardiff, the siblings – Melody, 47, Lauren, 42, Georgia, 33, and Sam, 32 - are incredibly close.

They hold keys to each other’s houses, have been bridesmaids for. one another and regularly go on nights out together - where they’re constantly chatted up by strangers. In fact, they get so much attention they've even jokingly dubbed themselves the 'Cardiff Kardashians' - just minus the astronomical fame, and huge net worths. Melody Cole, who lives in Cardiff with her husband Kev, 46, a scaffolder, and their son, Ben, 11, says: "We're the Cardiff Kardashians, but I think we're more beautiful because we're natural.

"But not all of us agree on that one, I don't like that plastic look - so many people look the same these days with big lips, and fillers in their face, it's nice to look different. "We're told we're the most beautiful sisters in Britain - I think we make an impact when we're together, and I think my sisters are gorgeous, but we don't see it as much in ourselves. "It’s lush when we go out together.

"When I’m on my own I often feel invisible, but as soon as my sisters get involved it’s a different matter - we make a huge impact, when we're together we are beautiful. "We all love it and we always boost each other’s confidence. "People stop and stare at us, men chat us up - though Sam’s the only one that could benefit as the rest of us have partners, and she’s always too busy having a laugh with us to capitalise on it.

"People often want to come and talk to us, we’re all quite fun-loving so are happy to go with the flow and like the attention. "We joke that we are the 'Cardiff Kardashians', and should have a 'Keeping Up With The Cardiff-ians Show', though unlike the American ones we aren’t uber wealthy and there’s no sibling rivalry with us. "We’re all really close, I’d trust my sisters with my life. "It makes me laugh that people now thoroughly approve of us when we go out together.

"When I was in my teens I used to take Sam and Georgia out to the playground and I’d be scowled at because people thought I was a teen mum - I’m 16 years older than Sam, so I could be. "There’s a brother between us all – who’s 39 and lives with Sam. "I can’t believe when I was younger I longed to be an only child – I hated having so many siblings, now I’d do anything for them, they’re my best mates.".

Hairdresser Lauren Hogan also lives in Cardiff with husband John, 40, an engineer, and their three children, Isla, seven, Kitty, five, and Jonah, two. She adds: "John jokes that he knows if he annoys me then he’s annoyed all of us, because we always look out for each other as well as looking like each other. "Just the other day we were out together and I went to get a drink and the barman looked twice and said he’d just served me, but it was my sister, Sam.

"She’s 10 years younger than me. I love it when that happens, we’ve been mistaken for twins before – I was thrilled, Sam not so much!. "But character-wise we’re quite different. Melody was a wild child growing up and always in trouble, bunking off school, and getting grounded. "I remember looking at her getting told off and deciding not to follow in her footsteps. "I think it annoyed her that I was so ‘good’.

"But then as I got into my late teens we started going out together, blended our friendship groups and it was all good.”. As Georgia and Sam grew up, they were scooped up into the gang too. Happily, they all have different tastes in men and have never fancied the same one. In fact, they trust each other so much on that front that once Georgia ended up sharing a bed with Melody’s husband. Melody explains: “It was years ago when Ben was a toddler. My sisters and I went for a night out and the next day we were all so hungover we could barely move.

It’s weird, none of us would say that we’re beautiful ourselves, but we all think each other are and know we look alike. "So we took it in turns to sleep and look after Ben, who couldn’t be left to entertain himself. "We played musical beds and at one point Georgia ended up kipping in with Kev, while I was downstairs with Ben. "We all found it hilarious – there is no way anything would happen, all our partners see the other sisters as their annoying siblings.

"Kev laughs that he doesn’t know why we get chatted up when we’re out together as we sound like a gang of cackling chickens as we’re talking and laughing so much.". One way the sisters are divided is with their beauty routines. Georgia, who is currently studying psychology and working as a carer part time, says: “When I was younger I felt like the ugly duckling sister, my brother used to call me goofy and they teased me for being chubby.
