The father of controversial social media personality HSTikkyTokky is a former England international sportsman.<\/p>\n

HSTikkyTokky, real name Harrison Sullivan, has amassed over 450,000 followers combined on social media platforms TikTok and Instagram.<\/p>\n

He also live streams on the heavily-criticised streaming platform Kick, where he has nearly 250,000 followers.<\/p>\n

In November, the 24-year-old received a suspended 12-month prison sentence<\/a>, was disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to undertake 300 hours of unpaid work after pleading guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance.<\/p>\n

Sullivan was recently interviewed by TV presenter Louis Theroux for Theroux’s latest documentary, ‘Inside the Manosphere<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

The sypnosis for the documentary, which is available to watch on Netflix, says that Theroux ‘investigates a growing ultra-masculine network and its controversial influencers’.<\/p>\n

Sullivan’s appearance on the documentary did indeed create significant controversy.<\/p>\n

Another video posted online by the social media personality – after he announced he would be interviewed by Theroux – was broadcast on the documentary, in which Sullivan tells Theroux directly: “If you wanna call me a pimp, scammer, racist, homophobic d***head – I’m all of those, Theroux. What are you going to do about it?”<\/p>\n

After the documentary aired, HSTikkyTokky reposted a tweet which claimed he had been ‘exposed … as a walking contradiction’.<\/p>\n

In a subsequent video posted to Twitter, he said he was ‘rattling the whole UK’, adding<\/a>: “I’m loving it.”<\/p>\n

Sullivan’s father, meanwhile, is the former England rugby union<\/a> prop Victor Ubogu.<\/p>\n

Now 61, Ubogu made 24 appearances for England<\/a> between 1992 and 1999, and won the 1998 Heineken Cup final – a tournament comprising of teams from France<\/a>, England, Scotland, Ireland<\/a>, Italy and Wales – with Bath.<\/p>\n

Since retirement, he founded and runs VU Ltd Sports, a travel, hospitality and events business.<\/p>\n

Theroux says in the documentary that Sullivan had told him ‘his mother, Elaine, had worked six-day weeks, late into the evening, to put him through private school’.<\/p>\n

His father, meanwhile, ‘was not in the picture’, with Sullivan recently posting a video online which showed him meeting him for the first time in 10 years.<\/p>\n

“I don’t agree with what he did, don’t get it twisted,” he told Theroux in the documentary.<\/p>\n

“But no hard feelings. If there is any trauma there, what I will say is, it’s subconscious. It’s not something I’m aware of. Definitely.”<\/p>\n

His mother Elaine said: “He’s got nothing to do with Harrison. He was involved… look, I spoke to him for a while, but he didn’t come into Harrison’s life until it was the last year of junior school.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The father of controversial social media personality HSTikkyTokky is a former England international sportsman.
