Two popular British YouTubers have received a celebrity-like reception from hundreds of fans after a surprise appearance at a shopping centre in Melbourne’s southeast.
Social media in Melbourne blew up on Wednesday after it was revealed YouTube personalities Chunkz and Sharky, who have more than 4m subscribers between them and are part of the Beta Squad channel, were seen roaming around Dandenong plaza at about 3pm.
The pair were swarmed by hundreds of fans trying to get a glimpse as they were ushered through the centre by security.
It was not long before word got out on social media, particularly on TikTok.
