Still, that's something to show the ex, huh? "Yeah, breaking up with you was tough at first, but because of that I became an international internet phenomenon, so it's all good." |

'Which is handy,' says Croshaw, 'because that's really what I want to do with my life.' All of which would never have happened without achieving fame on YouTube."
