Youtube star Louis Cole, famous for eating live creepy-crawlies and filming a daily video on his travels around the world, will take on a new challenge today - crossing the English Channel with a friend in a small yellow boat.
The Cobham man, 32, will have to cross the ferry lane - akin to 'crossing the motorway'. They have already sailed through an MoD firing range by mistake and been told off, they said this morning.
Whatever happens, thousands and thousands of Youtubers across the globe will be sure to tune in thanks to the 1.5million teenage subscribers who yearn to hear his every word.
His tweet about the crossing has already been favourited 728 times.

Louis said: "We are prepping for a nautical adventure and crossing the English Channel on Wednesday morning which is quite ambitious and very dangerous.
"So we are prepping tomorrow, getting everything ready, our life jackets and whistles to call for help.
"This is going to be fun."
Going to drive our small yellow boat across the English Channel today. Wish us luck! 🚤💦

His travel companion Andy Lindsell, brother of this site's digital editor, who lives in Barnes, said this morning: "The weather is great. Saying that, we're only a mile off shore and I think we have to go about 35 miles.
"We have got to cross the ferry lane which apparently is like crossing the motorway.
"We have got some camera equipment with new 360 degrees which should make quite a good film.
"The one downside is our safety equipment we forgot to charge the battery so we don't have one.
"But we have got some flares. We've got our mobile phones too."
Louis' previous video showed him at the Notting Hill Carnival where he documented the atmosphere but also rioters being chased by police officers.
He has recently been signed up by Apple, and his previous videos have also made stars of his more conventional family members.
