The seven members of the Sidemen – Olajide ‘JJ’ Olatunji (KSI), Simon Minter (Miniminter), Joshua Bradley (Zerkaa), Tobit ‘Tobi’ Brown (TBJZL), Ethan Payne (Behzinga), Vikram Singh Barn (Vikkstar123), and Harry Lewis (W2S) – have had billions of views globally.
But the group don’t see fan pressure as a negative with Ethan saying “it’s good to live up to that expectation”.
“Because we do something great every year and it’s what motivated us to keep doing it,” he says.
Vik adds: “Pressure is nice because it makes diamonds.”
Some fans have also been wondering if this might be the last Sidemen charity match – with all that it takes to organise it.
“We built this all ourselves,” Vik says.
“We all started off as kids with an ambition and a hobby and this shows how far we can go.
“There will be more matches. That’s for sure,” he says.
