Blonde Electra escaped their father's religious cult

Ruby and Jazzy King have confessed their Catholic missionary parents used to belong to the notorious Children of God cult before leaving and setting up their own, more restrictive sect, of which they were forced to be members until they left home aged just 12 and 15-years-old.

"Our parents left, thank God, because I don't know where we would be at this point,” Ruby explained.

"But our dad created his own cult. It was very restrictive - we were very isolated."

"Our dad thinks he's God's prophet, he thinks he was sent by God to this world to preach. He is bat-snap crazy," Jazzy added.

However, the American sisters - who are set to perform in the 'X Factor' live shows as one of Louis Walsh's groups category - managed to escape by becoming nightclub singers, despite their father referring to non-religious music as "the devil".

"We moved out when we were 12 and 15 because we met this guy who owned a club and was looking for singers. We were, like, 'F**k, yeah!',” Jazzy continued to The Sun newspaper.

"But our parents believe that, once you leave, you're going to hell. We have hardly any contact with them - though our dad writes us hate mails."

"He thinks we're sinners and are going to go to hell for doing 'The X Factor'. One of the email subjects was, 'Repent'," Ruby added.

The pair uploaded this YouTube video back in March which shows a deeper side of Blonde Electra that we can’t wait to see on the live shows.
