YOUTUBER and new Strictly Come Dancing hopeful George Clarke has been revealed as a secret nepo-baby.
The 25-year-old star has built up a loyal following after debuting on TikTok and YouTube almost five years ago.
Over the last 12 months, he has seen his stardom rise and has become one of the UK’s leading and most famous content creators.
Now, he has been confirmed as the first TikTok star to take on the Strictly ballroom.
But the social media star is actually a secret nepo-baby with a very successful father who is the driving force behind one of the largest film productions companies in Britain.
George’s dad is Sean Clarke, the managing director of Aardman Animations.
Aardman are the makers of Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep and Sean has worked his way up the company since 1998.
Sean currently leads the entire operation, including all of the executive board and has even co-produced some of the studio’s biggest releases – and has earned a pretty penny or two in the process.
He first joined as Head of Consumer Products in 1998 – a year before George was born.
Prior to that, Sean was working for Disney as their UK Licensing Director.
His work at Aardman has seen him co-executive produce on Early Man, the two Shaun the Sheep movies and the half hour musical short Robin Robin.
In a nod to his father’s film legacy, nepo-baby George even owns a pet mouse called Gromit and regularly pays tribute to the movies in his TikTok’s.
Under a recent TikTok clip about the Clarke family’s involvement with Wallace and Gromit, one fan laughed: “This how I found out George is a nepo baby lol.”
As another penned: “Fr? Bros rich af already.”
George was revealed this week as one of the stars who would be taking a spin around the BBC dancefloor.
He is best known for hosting The Useless Hotline podcast alongside Max Balegdeh.
It was recently revealed that the social media hunk was romancing lingerie model Yasmin Amelia after letting slip the pair were an item during a late-night live stream.
Earlier this year he took part in the second series of the Netflix show Inside, fronted by BGT judge KSI , alongside Whitney Adebayo and DDG.
