The 22-year-old from Guernsey, known online as HollyH, posts comedy lip syncs and is The Most followed Brit on the platform.

"I've had a couple of meetings over The Past few days which have been insane," she tells Newsbeat .

But, as Lucy Loveridge explains, there's a limit to what online stars can bring to TV.

"There's no T4 anymore and that was such a testing ground for finding and developing new Talent . "

T4 was A Channel 4 weekend programme that ended in 2012, but helped develop the likes of Rick Edwards , Jameela Jamil and Radio 1 's Nick Grimshaw

Riyadh Khalaf, a YouTuber who's made documentaries for Bbc Three and hosts a podcast for Radio 1 , says: "I only went on YouTube because I couldn't get a job on TV. "

He says TV execs started to take notice when online sites started writing about him but "they didn't know where to put me. "

"We are now proving to traditional Media that if you develop us and train us we can be just as good as Davina Mccall , Alan Carr or Graham Norton .

"There's a real democracy of Talent , which is great. "
