Conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel are to star in their own reality TV show - and you can watch a sneak peek of it right here.
The show will see the 22-year-olds, who are dicephalic parapagus twins, graduate from university, start a job hunt and travel through Europe with their friends.
The clip shows what utterly normal lives the high-spirited girls lead, cycling, sunbathing, and dancing in their kitchen. But its an undeniable fact that their appearances draw attention.

As a friend of the girls' tells the camera: "Everywhere they go, they just get the stares, I just don't know how they do that every day."
The good-natured pair appear to shrug off the stares though, with Abby laughing: "We throw it out there and let it go".
The girls may look as though they share an entire body but in fact they each have a separate heart, pair of lungs, stomach and spinal cord. They share one an intestine, bladder and reproductive organs.

In 2009 an unsubstantiated rumour spread that then 19-year-old Brittany was engaged, giving rise to much speculation about the bedroom arrangements this would entail. Neither twin commented on the story, although it re-emerged again in 2011.
A TV interview later filmed the girls confirming they fully intended to have children, with Brittany explaining: "We're gonna be moms, we just haven't figured out how its going to work yet."
Abby and Brittany starts on 28 August at 10pm on TLC.
