'It's like second nature now,' says Brooke, 18.

'We just come as a pair.

'We tell each other we love each other all the time.

'I think we're really starting to become our characters.'

Brooke - who happily admits she's single - has some celebrity girl crushes, too.

'Definitely Rihanna,' she admits.

'And Nicki Minaj. Definitely.

'Oh my God, where do I start with Nicki!

'I just love her attitude.'
