She’s fiercely intelligent, has razor sharp wit and is endowed with the sort of quirky good looks that epitomise effortless cool. He oozes playful charisma, has an encyclopaedic knowledge of indie film and is handsome in a clean cut, super hero kind of way. The show is b-box and the faces fronting the action are Alice Levine and James Cooper.

So obviously FemaleFirst had to get our greedy little mittens on the pair to ask all the questions you want to know - and maybe some you don’t.

Hello, how are you both?

James: Hello there! We’re both great thanks!

What are you getting up to this weekend, anything mega exciting?

Alice: We’re going back to uni land to Leeds for a friends birthday party.

Tell us a little bit about the show you’re both fronting…

James: It’s a weekly chunk of everything good on Bebo. Lots of fun and games, and a chance for Bebo users to get interactive!

How did you come to be ‘the faces’ of b-box?

Alice: We did a Bebo show called Message from Earth (where basically we sent a digital time capsule into space!) and they liked us and asked us to come up with a new format for a show. We created the pilot and they thought it was great.

What has been the most exciting thing to happen to you since taking on the job?

James: Free clothes! It is brilliant. But also recently the show was pick of the week in the Radio Times and we got so exicted!

What has been the highlight of regular feature ‘60 Second Celebrity' for you?

Alice: I think the interview with Alesha Dixon, we wrote questions on balloons which she had to blow up to answer.

James: Playing pass the parcel with the Saturdays was fun.

If you could interview anyone in the world, who would it be?

Alice: Phixx, it is definitely their time to shine!

James: I think Stephen Fry would be fantastic.

Has anyone you’ve met along your travels been particularly difficult?

Alice: Other than each other?! Whenever we interview celebs it is always a bit different so they tend to be pretty obliging.

If you won an entire box set of DVD’s featuring just one actor and one actress, which actor and actress would you choose?

Alice: Natalie Portman, she is beautiful and I am a big fan of her films.

James: Seth Rogan, he is hilarious!

Who is your favourite musician of all time?

Alice: Joni Mitchell

James: (After much deliberation) Frank Turner

If you could only listen to one CD for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Alice: Graceland by Paul Simon – it reminds me of 6 hr long family drives.

James: Laura Marling’s album.

If you could get rid of anyone in the charts today, who would it be?

Alice: Basshunter!

James: The Script

If you were to join any band for a day, who would it be?

James: Technically we both have already, I was the extra member of The Saturdays, and Alice rapped for N Dubz and they were blown away!
