How does George describe his early life as an introvert wanting to become a YouTuber?
But I've always been very grateful for the family that I've got.
Your mum has experienced some health issues.
She went to the hospital, she was put into an induced coma. They then said that she had a twenty percent chance of living. You wouldn't have any idea if you met her because she's the most selfless, caring person ever. Like she brushes it off like it's sort of nothing, then comes out hospital and apologises to us for what she'd put us through. And I think that really shows the sort of person that she is.
The way you speak about your mum and the way you speak about is so beautiful. Yeah.
No, she's she's really amazing. Hi, I'm George Clark and I'm in great company.
George Calarkey for the first time ever!
You were trying to find a beep in your garage.
But it's not here. For some reason people loved it. For doing what? Exactly. This is this feels like I'm now speaking to like my my grandmother. And you can monetize this, can you? Why do you start doing that? I used to always come home and just watch YouTube. Sidemen as well. Grew up watching that.
Wha what do you think about KSI leaving? No one don't put this up. Calms down, calm down. When you went on to strictly, you s decided to speak about your girlfriend. I did. You were like that dreaded curse.
Of course. The press are gonna do all they can to find out as much as they can about me. But I was like, We if we have full control over it, then there should be no bad thing that happens.
When was the last time you cried?
Last week. Why? If you're at home looking at comments and stuff, it's not nice. Every now and then comments just get a little too much. It was it was a sad cry.
What was the comment?

That if you don't turn up Every day you have to pay.
That's I mean, that is good unless you but I thought then the clientele just becomes people that do turn up so they just get free gym. Like that as a business model has a
