Cut to seven years later, 19-year-old Amy posted a video of herself with blue hair getting her eyebrow pierced on TikTok. Two hundred miles away in Tbilisi, Ano Sartania, was sent the video by a friend. She thought it was "cool that she looks like me".

Someone who knew Amy saw the message and connected them on Facebook. Amy instantly knew Ano was the girl she had seen all those years ago on Georgia's Got Talent. "I have been looking for you for so long!" she messaged.

"Me too," Ano said in her reply. As they started speaking to each other, they found it strange that "they had a lot in common". "Every time I learned something new about Ano, things got stranger," Amy was quoted by BBC as saying.

Later, when Amy and Ano saw each other for the first time in person, "it was like looking in a mirror". Amy said, "I am her and she is me."
