Rose and Rosie: 'We don't really have a filter'

YouTube sensations Rose and Rosie have turned a vlogging hobby into a hit brand. They talk about coming out on camera, posting their wedding online - and why there's no such thing as oversharing

'I think when I have a baby, I'm going to livestream the birth.' Rosie Spaughton is sitting in the Guardian canteen with her wife Rose Ellen Dix, talking about the future of their YouTube channels - and the prospect of parenthood. Known to their one million subscribers simply as Rose and Rosie, they slouch comfortably among a growing pantheon of online celebrities, pulling in vast audiences via the omnipresent video-sharing platform. Their videos have been viewed over 142m times.

What do they do to attract such a huge following? Well, they sit in their living room in Hertford and chat. They talk about their lives, play video games, make up terrible songs on Rose's acoustic guitar. They are warm, hilarious and unguardedly honest, especially about sex and relationships. In one recent video, they discuss their most hurtful rejections. "Oh, there was that time you tried to have a threesome and they told you to get out," says Rosie with undisguised glee. "That could only happen to you."
