Zoella Celebrates Eight MILLION YouTube Subscribers: Her Biggest Achievements To Date!

She’s the biggest YouTuber in the UK.

But 24-year-old Zoe Sugg aka Zoella has proved herself to be way more than just someone that who films herself in front of a handheld camera.

So in celebration of landing eight MILLION subscribers on YouTube today (April 27), we’ve championed Zoe’s five biggest moments so far…

1 Mental Health Ambassador

She’s been very vocal about suffering from anxiety, appearing on ITV’s This Morning to raise awareness of the issue. But she took this role one step further by becoming mental health charity Mind’s first Digital Ambassador, to raise vital awareness of anxiety and panic attacks in young people.

2 Book Deal

Ghostwriting controversy aside

, Zoe’s debut novel ‘Girl Online’ topped the Amazon bestseller list and broke the record for the highest first-week sales for a debut author since records began, even outselling Harry Potter author JK Rowling.

3 Beauty Babe

Following in Tanya Burr’s footsteps, Zoe launched her debut beauty range ‘Zoella Beauty’ in September 2014. The collection, consisting of bath and pampering products, trended on Twitter on the day of release. She’s also appeared in British Vogue as ‘Queen of the Haul’, focusing on her beauty videos.

4 Awards Central

Zoe doesn’t just have UK appeal. Aside from winning the Best British Vlogger at the Radio 1 Teen Awards two years in a row, she’s also taken home the Teen Choice Award for Choice Web Star: Fashion/Beauty and the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards for UK Favourite Vlogger. Pretty impressive stuff for a twenties girl from Somerset.

5 Band Aid 30

Zoe made history as the first non-musician to appear in Band Aid, joining Band Aid 30 in 2014 to raise much-needed funds for the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa. She starred alongside boyfriend Alfie Deyes (PointlessBlog), with the song storming to number one - becoming the year’s fastest-selling single.
