Asked about what she posts, Abigail said: “Fashion, beauty, lifestyle, travel content and I guess now home content.”

The pair also talk about setting up their first business together.

From relationship hurdles to falling victim to online scams, the lives of influencers aren’t always as picture perfect as they seem on social media.
The first series was a big hit with audiences, particularly younger audiences, receiving over 500K views on BBC iPlayer to date.
Asked why she thought it had been such a success, Kirsten said: “I think it's because it lets you see what goes on behind that Instagram post. The series shows what the world of influencing is really like and the day to day lives of influencers. It’s something audiences hadn’t really seen before in series one.”
Abigail previously told the Falkirk Herald how she had got involved with Aquarius Creative, saying: “I first met Amy and Kirsten when we all worked for Quiz. When they set up the agency it seemed like perfect for them to manage me. Not that I ever thought we would all end up on TV.

Abigail is a former pupil of Larbert and St Mungo’s High Schools. She attended dancing and acting classes locally and twice had the opportunity to travel to California with an acting agency where she filmed at Disney and Nickleodeon studios.
She said: “It was great experience at the time and I’d love to do more TV work in the future.”
A graduate in social sciences from the University of the West of Scotland, it was one of her friends from university who first suggested that she should try to do a bit more with the photographs she posted of her different outfits.

"My mum would help by taking the photographs and then I’d post them. It all really just grew very quickly from there. I love doing it and it’s opened up so many opportunities.”
