Preeti Young: Twin Trouble & Glamour Beginnings
If you fancy a proper catch-up with someone who’s lived the glamour life from both sides, then Preeti Young’s episode of the Option One Podcast is an absolute belter. One half of the famous Young Twins (yep, Priya’s her sister), a longtime Babestation favourite, and someone who’s dipped her toe into mainstream telly, Preeti brings bags of personality and zero filter. It feels less like an interview and more like nattering with your mate who’s got the best stories from the industry.
Straight off the bat, Preeti dives into what it’s really like being one half of one of the most recognisable twin duos in British glamour. Being twins with Priya has opened plenty of doors, but it’s not all matching outfits and double the fun, there’s the constant “which one are you?” questions and figuring out your own identity in the mix. She chats about it in such a down-to-earth way that you can’t help but smile.
She also opens up about her mainstream TV bits, including appearances on shows like My Mum’s Hotter Than Me and even a cheeky brush with Judge Rinder. It’s fascinating hearing how those worlds sometimes overlap (and occasionally clash) with the glamour scene.
Page 3 Days, Lads’ Mags & the Realities of the Job
Like a lot of the best episodes, the chat naturally wanders into the golden era of Page 3 and lads’ mags. Preeti gives a proper personal take on what that time was like for glamour models in the UK - the expectations, the image pressure, and how it all shaped careers back then.
There’s a really honest section on photoshoots too. She talks about nude work in a straightforward, no-drama way, just how it fitted into the job, what the studios were actually like, and how attitudes have shifted over the years. None of that sensationalised nonsense, just real talk from someone who’s been there and done the glamour modelling grind.
From Print to Digital - Keeping It Real
Preeti doesn’t sugar-coat how much the industry has changed. Moving from chasing magazine spreads and traditional modelling gigs to the fast-paced digital world of Babestation, OnlyFans and constant content creation brings more control… but bloody hell, there’s a lot more pressure to stay relevant these days. Her attitude is refreshing: no moaning, just a “this is how it is, so you crack on” energy that makes the whole episode feel genuine. She’s clearly someone who’s adapted, evolved, and still loves what she does.
