And his wife everywhere? Seemingly because they have done what millions of others in the world do? What's the point of them? baffled
Everyone else seems to like them please tell me I'm not alone

If I was Mrs F I would have died from cringe during that wedding speech.

ShatnersBassoon · 06/03/2016 17:23

Oh! We actually have one of his kids' books upstairs signed by him Blush. His name is very forgettable, to be fair to me.

But where do you see them, if not following them?

I see them as Dd likes and follows both of them on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. If she didn't they wouldn't appear on my news feeds as I don't think anyone else I have on social media follows them. I know DD has seen them on You Tube also, but generally they don't show up on mine.

They did post a new video today - about their new baby. But on my own social media it isn;t showing up on anyone's bar DDs. It isn't on the trending bar of Facebook, or on the Uk trending top 10 on Twitter either. It isn't on any of the big news sites, not even on the entertainment sections of sites, like BBC.

If you are seeing them lots then I assume you are friends online with people who do follow them.

As said, DH has no social media and never sees anything about them at all.

Or is it Sylvia Young? Really can't remember, no coffee today, sadly!

Sparklingbrook · 06/03/2016 17:24

Ah yes the pooey dinosaurs Shatners? Dougie had a hand in them too.

MitzyLeFrouf · 06/03/2016 17:24

I have a major aversion to couples who try to turn their family into a Youtube brand. Have you ever come across those Saccone Jolly people? They make my skin crawl. Blows my mind that people can make a living from this kind of mind numbing nonsense.

ThursdayLastWeek · 06/03/2016 17:25

It's all just so very contrived isn't it? That's what I don't like about it.

Eminybob · 06/03/2016 17:25

Aww I like them.

I loved his wedding speech song, and his pregnancy announcements.

They seem like a nice couple sharing the lovely bits of their life with their (Tom's) fans.

MrsBruceBogtrotter · 06/03/2016 17:25

YANBU. They're human clickbait.

Hulababy · 06/03/2016 17:25

Holger - Sylvia Young. It is the performing arts place where he and his wife also met - DD is a font of all McFly/McBusted knowledge it would seem!

Onlytimewilltell · 06/03/2016 17:26

Have to say I agree! One of my FB friends keeps liking their stuff, I seem inundated with it. First meal out as a family of four - yep okay, not so bad, but then - second meal out as a family of four - what? ??!!!

HolgerDanske · 06/03/2016 17:26

Attention is how celebrities make money, isn't it.

And if you're a performer or artist of some kind then there will surely be a part of you that is driven by a need for attention, in addition to your creative imperative, of course, otherwise I don't suppose you'd do it.

MistressMerryWeather · 06/03/2016 17:26

Indeed, Thursday.

sharonthewaspandthewineywall · 06/03/2016 17:27

Urghhh my DD watches the Saccone Joly's

ShatnersBassoon · 06/03/2016 17:28

Yes, dinosaurs offerings is the main theme.

I've realised (by googling) that he's the one from McFly that looked like Antony Worrall Thompson. I haven't seen him for years.

YANBU.

I hate the whole thing of making your family a brand and filming every fart for the benefit of your YouTube followers.

Plus, they're so saccharine it makes my teeth hurt.

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 06/03/2016 17:29

I never understood the appeal of vlogs until recently - there's something about them that means you can start off watching 5 minutes of makeup tips and an hour later be watching Tom McFly's sister sing opera.

I think her vlogs are a lot more interesting than theirs (DearTomAndGi I think they are called) but that's the joy of vlogs, there's a plethora of choice out there!

HolgerDanske · 06/03/2016 17:29

Yes, I like the fact that they have been together so long, and that he wrote that song for her, and that he had the choir in for the wedding, etc. It's Love's Young Dream, isn't it. Maybe it won't last, and yes of course they are just a normal couple like any other, and maybe in a few years' time it'll all go wrong and they'll end up hating each other, but while it's good why not celebrate it.

KyloRenNeedsTherapy · 06/03/2016 17:31

I'm another one who has no idea who he is!!!

Sparklingbrook · 06/03/2016 17:32

Wedding speeches are interesting for about 5 minutes, for the people at the wedding IMO. His went on forever. Confused

Janeymoo50 · 06/03/2016 17:34

They seem really sweet - haven't seen them much. His bond with the first little boy is quite enchanting.

bruffin · 06/03/2016 17:35

He is from Mcfly Kylo

Also met his sister last week at WOTW premiere.She was lovely to dd. We saw her when she was a little girl in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

HolgerDanske · 06/03/2016 17:35

You really wouldn't know who he is unless you or someone in your household were heavily into McFly or McBusted.

Wardrobespierre · 06/03/2016 17:36

Ohhhh the dinosaur books. Now I know the feller. DS loves the pooing dinosaur.
