THREE AFL-mad Ballarat brothers have become overnight television celebrities.
Twins Josh and Sam Bromley-Lynch, aged 10, and younger brother Tom, aged 5, present a segment on the Fox Footy Channel called "The Lynch Mob".
The Ballarat Grammar School students have already interviewed Clint Bizzell and Nathan Buckley and have several more star interviews lined-up.
Collingwood captain Buckley was so impressed with the trio's efforts, he requested a signed picture of the brothers.
The brothers were attending a Melbourne-Carlton game at the MCG in May when their call for stardom came.
Picked out of the crowd to call part of the game, producers were so impressed with the boys' detailed knowledge of the game, they asked them back to present their own show.
Apart from some initial media training, Sam said the boys have made a seamless transition into their new careers.
"We were a bit nervous the first time but not anymore," he said.
"We usually think of about five questions on the way down to Melbourne and then we just take it as it comes.
"A few people have recognised us at football but we won't see our friends until we return to school.
"But we're determined that fame won't change us, despite Nathan Buckley asking for a signed picture."
"The Lynch Mob" is shown on Fridays at 6pm on "AusKick'n Around" on the Fox Footy Channel.
