Cheers! Youtube star awarded Golden Can prize

- By ANGUS HOWARTH

artist and Scottish Youtube star Jamie Genevieve has been served with her “most fitting” award yet – a Tennent’s Golden Can. The Youtuber, whose lifestyle and make-up videos have amassed more than 61 million views since 2013, visited the Tennent’s brewery in Glasgow to collect her prize for her contributi­on to Scottish culture.

The 25-year-old has more than 770,000 subscriber­s to her channel and will now join author Irvine Welsh, actor Martin Compston and rockers Biffy Clyro in the beer maker’s Golden Can hall of fame.

Genevieve said: “I can’t believe it – of all the awards I’ve been nominated for, this definitely feels the most fitting. My dad will be so proud.”
