BOB: TODAY’S STARS ALL BLOG-STANDARD
COMEDIAN Bob Mortimer claims he is baffled by the popularity of YouTubers such as Strictly Come Dancing star Joe Sugg.
Bob, one half of double act Reeves and Mortimer with pal Vic Reeves,
59, has no idea why the
27-year-old attracts millions of followers.
Bob, 59, who is bringing back TV show Big Night Out with his partner in crime, said: “There’s that bloke Joe Sugg on Strictly Come Dancing.
“He’s a YouTuber with eight million subscribers. “My kids watch him. I looked at his – I think they’re called blogs.
“They were about half an hour long but nothing happens.
“He just does stuff like go on a boat trip and shout, ‘Woooooow’ a lot.
“I watched it and felt very old.
“Clearly people are seeing something. But I don’t understand which bit I’m meant to be enjoying or where I’d laugh or be intrigued.”
