Speaking to FEMAIL about the new campaign, Lucy said: 'It was really lovely working together. We don’t always get to see each other a lot as Lydia is at Uni and I’m working a lot so it’s definitely brought us closer together. 

'We both love getting glammed up with hair and make-up and doing photoshoots together so it was really fun.'

Speaking about her first-ever modelling gig, Lydia added: 'As it was my first campaign it was nice having Lucy there as a bit of support as she knows what she’s doing.'

The sisters, who show off their toned legs in the new shoot, said it was 'really lovely working together' because they don't get to see each other often

Lucy, who stars in her second campaign for the tanning brand, admitted that she used to overdo it on the orange stuff in her teenage years.

The Essex-born star said: 'I definitely think my style has changed over the years. I’ve realised that less is definitely more, when it comes to your outfits keep them simple and classy, but still quite fun. 

'With my make-up, I’ve stripped it back. I don’t wear heavy smokey eyes all the time and my tan has definitely gotten lighter! I was a little bit orange at school but now I’ve realised that you should build up your colour rather than layer it all on in one go.'

Obviously Lucy swears by the product she's promoting and cites it as her handbag essential. 'I love the smell,' she said. 'It reminds me of holidays and coconuts. It definitely passes the boyfriend test - he (Louis Smith) loves the smell.'

And Lucy is certainly a postergirl for the healthy lifestyle she preaches, admitting that working out has become an essential part of her daily life.

'If I’m having bad day I always have a workout,' she said. 'It makes you feel good and gets your endorphins going.'

As well as boosting her energy levels and her mood, Lucy admits that her figure benefits from her healthy lifestyle.

'I do love my small waist,' she said of her best feature. 'I work really hard for it by doing hoola hooping and exercise, but I would absolutely love my sister’s legs! She has the longest legs in the world and I’m so jealous. She takes after dad whilst I take after mum on that one.'
