Brit racks up 1m regular YouTube viewers

A YouTube channel run by 20 year old
Charlie McDonnell has become the first run by a British person to generate more
than a million regular viewers on the video sharing network.

McDonnell’s success has come on the back of
a series of ‘How to Speak English’ videos in which he discusses the definition
of the word “chav” with an American friend and ‘How to be English’ – which
includes a guide to the perfect brew. 

So popular has been the clip that it was
even featured on the Oprah Winfrey show and L’Oreal put an advert on an online
monologue about long hair. 

This success has prompted McDonnell to
abandon plans to University and instead travel to London to pursue a career in
media.
