I was in the pub having a drink on the Wednesday. Have you seen this guy called Dapper Laughs? I was like, no, I've not seen him. It's on this Vine app. I was like, what the hell's that? So I downloaded the app onto my phone. And that's where it all began. I mean, it was a nightmare to use. There was no editing. You couldn't even save the video.

So you had to make the video, then upload it straight away. I'd go, ah, in public. And I wouldn't even know what it looked like until I uploaded it. It was just such a challenge. It was like, I think my first ever video was...

what I uploaded was, there was a dog called Rio in the pub, and we were having a lock-in, we were all drunk, and I got the dog eating peanuts on the table, and there was a cut, you could do the cut, so I pushed the cut, and then my friend was eating the peanuts on the table. That was my first ever video, and it did nothing, I didn't have no followers, nothing.

I was filming morning, afternoon and night time. In the morning before the bookies, filming my lunch breaks and then filming after work. I ate, dreamt, drank wine. I was uploading six videos a day. I was obsessed. I was always uploading in my lunch breaks. The lunchtime videos never really used to do as well as the night time ones.

It was just like, oh, OK, I'll just put two and two together at the end of the day. my videos did better after work. So I just kept to it. And between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. is the absolute must for me. People keep saying to me about going earlier. I'm not going to go earlier. If I go earlier, I'm regretting it straight away and I'll take it down anyway.

I've never uploaded on a Friday or Saturday because they are just the days where no one's on their phones. I can tell you that now. Sunday's the most important day to upload. You've got a big video, Sunday's the best time. Everyone's always been out Saturday night, drunk. Next day, they're always on their phones in bed, hanging, watching videos. If there's big football games on, don't even upload.

Just wait until after the game, at least 10 minutes after the game so people can get on their phones. If there's Love Island on, don't bother uploading around that time. You've just got to literally think about yourself. When are you on your phone? Upload when you think you would be able to see it.

Because obviously by then my videos were going out on other platforms like Snapchat. I was getting popular on Instagram and Facebook. It was all kind of merging into one big cartel kind of thing, if you know what I mean. It's crazy.

Just for the love of it. Yep, absolutely. There was no money in it. I was still going to work, but then I started... People started coming into my work for selfies. And I was like, oh my God, it's actually starting to... This is mental. But I can remember walking to work. Cars beeping their horns. Yeah. It was such a weird feeling. It still is now, to be fair.

Were there any downsides that early on? No, not really. It was more... I never got hate because the content was always, the laugh was always on me. My missus hated it. So she would come home and cry. People were kind of stalking her in Morrisons and giggling to themselves. And she just hated it. Not many people have got famous in Dover, you know, it's quite new.
