A CHAT WITH: Jake Barber

Fresh off the back of a main episode appearance, Jake Barber joins Duke at the Sporty for a chinwag about his time supporting the Gas, his vlogging days and the difficulties of being cast into the Rovers spotlight at such a young age. Jake began vlogging as a passion project when he was just fifteen. His videos became an internet smash and was a popular face on the terraces.  As with any internet success though, there are the downsides, and Jake talks about how he struggled to deal with the negative comments that he received both online and in person. We also chat about Jakes vlogs being picked up by the club and producing his vlogs for the club YouTube account. Jake was a delight to chat with and his openness and honesty should be held in high admiration.If you have been affected by anything that was discussed please visit https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/mental-health-helplines/ for a list of organisations that can help. Support the showProudly sponsored by: https://theoakfieldgroup.co.uk
