Who is Joe Sugg? Zoella’s younger brother with eight million YouTube subscribers

Wait, is he… hot?

| UPDATED

Joe Sugg aka. ThatcherJoe, is the first YouTube "celebrity" to be going on Strictly Come Dancing, but who is the 26-year-old with eight million YouTube followers?

Joe Sugg is a British YouTuber, film-maker, author and vlogger from Wiltshire. He has three YouTube channels called ThatcherJoe, ThatcherJoeVlogs and ThatcherJoeGames. Across those channels, he does pranks, challenges and impressions.

He's also Zoella's brother, but we're happy to announce he's a lot more palatable than her and her boyfriend Alfie.

Joe Sugg's channel is called ThatcherJoe because he always wanted to become a roof thatcher

Joe Sugg started his career by doing the job of a roof thatcher, which is why he named all his YouTube channels ThatcherJoe. He didn't go to university after finishing his A-Levels and instead did a roof thatching apprenticeship.

Joe Sugg is Zoella's younger brother

Joe's sister Zoe or Zoella, is one of the UK's biggest YouTubers.

The siblings released their own range of clothing named Sugg Life in 2016, but the brand doesn't seem to be active anymore.

He is worth £1.57m

According to Gazette Review, the YouTuber has a fortune of approximately £1.57m. His sister's fortune is reportedly set at around about £2.5M according to Look.

Joe Sugg is good friends with Ed Sheeran and Robbie Williams

He once filmed a YouTube video with the famous singer-songwriter in a bathroom.

And Joe was also in a video Robbie Williams, discussing when and how they both lost their virginities.

He's the author of books he didn't write himself, obviously

Joe Sugg is the author of Username: Evie, published in 2015 but it was ghost written, just like his sister's book Girl Online. He released two more books Username: Regenerated in 2016 and Username: Uprising in 2017.

Joe Sugg is the first YouTuber to be on Strictly Come Dancing

He made a YouTube video in which he revealed that he's going on Strictly Come Dancing.

He said: "I don't really know what I'm doing to be honest. I know it will be a huge challenge but that's what life is all about I guess."

Now it seems Joe is the latest victim of the so-called "Strictly curse" as his partner has broken up with her boyfriend as she "grows close" with Joe.
