“	How's it going guys, and welcome to...	”
―W2S' Intro

Harold "Harry" Christopher George Lewis (born: November 24, 1996 (1996-11-24)) better known online as W2S (short for Wroetoshaw), is a Guernsey-British YouTuber known for his FIFA Draft and Pack videos. He is also widely known for his real-life challenges with his family and friends. Harry is one of the seven members of the Sidemen.

Harry stopped uploading on his 'W2S' channel in 2020, but often uploads on his second channel, 'W2S+' (formally W2SPlays).

Background

Harry was born in Guernsey but grew up in Alderney - one of the Channel Islands - until his family moved to Guernsey in 2004 when he was 7 or 8. He has a younger brother, Josh, and a younger sister, Rosie. They all attended Guernsey Grammar School. The Sidemen often used the Guernsey stereotype as a joke against Harry, regularly referring to him as "inbred" and having an incestuous relationship with his family.

During his childhood, Harry played for a local football team called 'Rangers F.C.' and once lost a match 32–0. He first got into gaming when his parents bought him a Nintendo GameCube for £5 from a car boot sale. Harry was evidently an intelligent student growing up as he sat his GCSE maths exam a year early and still achieved a grade A*.

Harry is one of three Sidemen members who have never lived in the Sidemen House. Until 2014, he lived at his family home in Guernsey. He then moved to London in September 2014 - at the age of 17 - to an apartment in the Stratford Halo tower which he shared with Callux and Calfreezy. The three of them moved out of the tower in the summer of 2018 and into their own house overlooking the River Thames.

In mid-2020, after Callux moved into a new house by himself, Harry and Calfreezy moved into a smaller, new apartment. In March 2015, Harry bought a flat in Guernsey in addition to his London accommodation, which he has now sold.

In 2017, Harry bought a dog named Herb who originally lived with him, Calfreezy and Callux in their Stratford Halo Tower apartment, but now lives in Guernsey with Harry's parents.

He was in a long term relationship with Katie Leach between 2014 and 2020. He visited the German Pascha (the largest brothel in the world) in 2015 and paid for multiple experiences. He claims that this was before he was in a relationship.

YouTube

Harry initially set up numerous YouTube channels on which he'd experiment with different ideas (i.e. he had separate channels for vlogging and playing instruments). When he was 13 or 14, he did a fake iPad giveaway to get subscribers, but later admitted the iPad was the property of his brothers.

Eventually, he set up his main channel "wroetoshaw". He created this name from FIFA and it is a contraction of the players Nicky Wroe and Tom Bradshaw. At the age of 17, he dropped out of school and decided to do YouTube as his full-time job. Harry was the last to join the Sidemen, becoming a member around the same time he dropped out of school in early-2014 (a few months after their formation).

An image of Harry's scrotum was leaked onto the internet during a Twitter hack in April 2015. He has since made a joke out of this and has titled one of his vlogs as such.

In August 2015, Harry personally sent £50 to all of his Twitter followers on GCSE results day who tweeted him proving that they gained straight A*-A's. There were at least 16 in total - meaning he sent a minimum of £800.

Harry hit ten million subscribers on his main channel in April 2017 and received his "Diamond Play Button" from YouTube shortly afterwards.

Since then Harry has not uploaded onto his main channel W2S since the February 19, 2020. He says he has videos filmed he just can't be bothered to edit them anymore instead he has been uploading onto his second channel W2S+ instead as they are smaller videos so they are more easier to film and edit.

Harry also has created a third channel called W2SClips where he uploads short funny moments of himself over his time doing YouTube.

Personality

Harry is known for being the most "fearless" and energetic Sideman by being loud and overjoyed in videos. When Harry uploaded FIFA videos, he was known for smashing his chair or controller against the wall or at anything around him when he raged or became excited. A notable time this happened was when he threw his chair behind him and it smashed his TV.

Harry has been described by Ethan and Simon as very "kid-like" and having a "lack of care for the world". He also uses self-deprecating humour and has joked about having a "minor drug addiction". Harry is also considered the least consistent of the Sidemen by not uploading very frequently.

Although Harry appears extremely outgoing and extroverted in the Sidemen videos, he has talked numerous times about his lack of social confidence. This is shown in many videos that are filmed publicly or in front of a larger audience. He also spoke about how he found it difficult to make conversation, especially with fans who met him in public, and prefers when people lead the conversation for him in the video.

People have speculated about Harry's alleged drug use because of the diss track Little Boy (where KSI accused him of using crack, ketamine and MDMA) during the 2017 Sidemen War. Harry has since joked about using marijuana and having a drug addiction but it is unknown if it is actually true. In 2021, he said was "not currently on drugs".

Cars

During the summer of 2014 (at the age of 17), Harry bought a chrome-wrapped Range Rover Evoque. He later re-wrapped it with a gold-chrome finish. After just a year of driving the Evoque, Harry sold it to Calfreezy. Just before he sold it, Harry re-wrapped the car for the third time, making its appearance satin black.

After parting ways with the Range Rover in summer 2015, Harry bought a Lamborghini Gallardo, which he sold a few years later. He also possessed a grey Audi A4, supposedly his casual car for when he goes back to Guernsey.

KickTown

W2S EXPLAINS KICKTOWN

On October 28, 2019, after not uploading for 9 months, Harry finally uploaded a video on his main channel and announced that he's opening the first football challenge club in the world called 'KickTown' situated in The O2, London. Sadly, after many months of not making enough profit and the impacts of the first 2 lockdowns, Kicktown closed its doors for good in Early November 2020.

According to the official KickTown website:

"KickTown is an innovative tech-led football experience that integrates physical football challenges with the digital world. Inspired by Harry Lewis’ YouTube channel W2S, KickTown uses the latest tech to bring epic football challenges to life through its mobile app and arenas. Paired with your KickBand, the KickTown app will be your access to everything club membership has to offer. Connect with other fans, play epic football mobile games and be the first to see exclusive content from Harry Lewis and the latest news about the first arena."

Harry & Theo Go Golfing

In September 2023, Harry and Theo Baker started a golfing YouTube channel called 'Harry & Theo Go Golfing', when they play golf against YouTubers such as REEV, ChrisMD and Calfreezy. They uploaded their first video on December 3, 2023 titled "W2S vs THEO - OUR FIRST VIDEO EVER!!".

Controversies

Robbed by EzekielGamingHD

In 2014, Harry made a FIFA coin website with an other YouTuber called EzekielGamingHD. In 2017 during Harry's reaction to KSI's Two Birds One Stone diss track, he explained that Ezekiel 'robbed' around 100k pounds off him, and then bought a Nissan GT-R. After the diss track, EzekielGamingHD made a video explaining that he bought the Nissan GT-R with his own money, but many FIFA YouTubers including JMX, Fangs, Calfreezy, AnEsonGib and TheBurntChip confirmed that Ezekiel kept the coin money for himself and bought the Nissan GT-R. Ezekiel would later delete the video and seemly leaving YouTube.

2015 Twitter Hack

The tweet from Harry as he regained his Twitter account

The first sign of suspicious activity was when "Harry" and "Simon" ordered their Twitter followers to spam offensive remarks towards YouTuber Bashurverse in the chat of one of his live Twitch gaming streams. The hacker pretended to be Harry Lewis and Simon Minter and told them to call "Bashur" a pedo and accuse him of pedophilia. In these tweets, there was one subtle hint that something was wrong which only a few followers picked up on: the spelling of the words. Since Harry and Simon are British, they would have typed "paedophilia" as opposed to "pedophilia". Unfortunately, the followers did as they were told and proceeded to call Bashur a "pedo".

The original tweet of the scortum picture censored

According to witnesses of the incident, Harry came off worst from this hacking. As well as the "pedo" comments, an image of Harry's testicles was uploaded to Twitter. As revealed, in the 2019 Sidemen Sunday video "Strangers Roast the Sidemen", the photo was taken and sent to Sidemen group chat as joke by Harry, which the hacker managed to get into via their accounts. It was posted alongside the caption "ITS BATHTIME BOYS", which is a reference to one of his videos.

Sidemen Diss Track Season

Taking place concurrently to the drama between Deji and Simon, Harry uploaded a three minute long diss track on August 8 titled "KSI Sucks". The video has over 64 million views and was considered by the audience to be one of the best tracks. Harry predominantly targeted JJ and his family in the song.

On August 9, RiceGum uploaded his reaction to Harry's diss track and was confused that Harry only mentioned him once throughout the song (as well as it being a compliment) despite his name being featured in the title. RiceGum also reacted to other diss tracks against him and complained about their hostility.

On August 10, KSI uploaded his reaction to Harry's diss track. A few hours later, Harry uploaded a video recapping the events that had taken place so far (and discussing RiceGum's video), titled "W2S - KSI ROASTS MY SISTER". This featured Harry's "second verse", although wasn't a full length diss track. It didn't receive as much hate as his original song and Harry explained his reasons for being so brutal.

On August 13 - after uploading "Earthquake" aimed at Ethan, KSI uploaded a diss track titled "Little Boy" aimed at Harry as a response to "KSI Sucks". The video has over 61 million views. It included a lot of "controversial" lines relating to drug use which many of the Sidemen claimed was when the drama started turning serious.

The following day, Harry uploaded a video with his mum reacting to "Little Boy". In the video, Harry promised he'd post his response within "72 hours". The day after that (15 August), KSI reacted to Harry's reaction video - within his own video titled "I'm Getting Deported".

On August 19, Harry's second diss track called "KSI Exposed" was uploaded.

On August 24, KSI uploaded a diss track titled "Two Birds One Stone". It was targeted towards both W2S and Joe Weller, and was the final diss track in the W2S and KSI drama. He responded to the accusations from Harry's diss track and summed up the situation between himself and Joe Weller. Harry reacted to this track on the same day and provided no evidence that he would respond again.

Offensive Tweets Controversy

In August 25, 2020, a hashtag has been created and trending on Twitter called #wroetoracist and #wroetoshawisoverparty, where people have been looking on his past tweets from 4-6 years ago of the jokes that he has said that have been pretty offensive and possibly regretful to Harry.

Established Titles

In one of his video sponsors, Established Titles, was exposed in November 2022 as being a scam. The ads claimed customers can purchase a plot of land in Scotland and, based on a historic Scottish land ownership custom, being the landowner entitled the owner to title themselves as Lairds or Ladies. YouTuber Scott Shafer made a video exposing the scam stating that Established Titles does not actually sell land instead using the term "souvenir plot" so the owner does not own the land under Scottish law, nor can the company bestow any official title.
