Controversy[]
Living on £1 for 24 hours[]
In 2018, Deyes uploaded a video to his YouTube channel called "Living on £1 for 24 hours" in which his aim was to spend only £1 for a full day. He received criticism from viewers and the media[1] who claimed that Deyes was making a mockery of poverty, both in his language used and the fact he did things such as going shopping for clothes during the video, continuing to use luxury items such as his car, and was given free food after being recognised. On 18 June 2018, Deyes uploaded a video to his vlogging channel titled "Lets talk about the £1 video" in which he apologised for his actions in the video and claimed he didn't mean to mock poverty.[2][3] He subsequently removed the "Living on £1 for 24 hours" video from YouTube and donated all revenue from that video to charity.
