The Chase: Meet Amelia the beauty and lifestyle YouTuber
When The Chase contestant Amelia was introduced to presenter Bradley Walsh on today’s gripping instalment of the ITV show, she had no idea how her life was about to change.
The player revealed that she’s been concentrating on achieving her career dreams as a singer, and studied at a performing arts school.
Yet in a surprise turn of events no one was expecting, the sales assistant also shared that she posts makeup tutorial videos in her spare time on YouTube.
Not yet a vlogging sensation, Amelia happily admitted that her “Amelia Sparkles” account was simply for fun.

I’ve only got 17 subscribers
“I’ve only got 17 subscribers,” she revealed, unprepared for what comedian Bradley, 55, would do next.
“Not now you won’t,” he declared with a cheeky grin to the camera.
While the contestant, who dazzled viewers in a bright green skater dress covered in cat print, shrugged off the joke, viewers were immediately excited.
Following an initial flurry that saw copious viewers doing their best detective work to find the intriguing contestant, it wasn’t long before her popularity shot up to reach incredible new heights.

One person posted: “The girl on The Chase right now just gave her YouTube channel a shoutout and she’s already gained like 75 subs in a minute. A living legend.”
“LOL.. Amelia Sparkles' YouTube subscribers have just doubled from 50 to over 100, in the past minute or so!! #TheChase #GangOfChase,” another exclaimed.
A third wrote: “Amelia on #TheChase had 15 subscribers on YouTube about 3 minutes ago and now she has 400+ (& still going!).”
“That lassie’s subscribers going up rapid after that sneaky lil promo #thechase,” a fourth impressed fan praised,” followed by: “Go on tv and mention your social media platform, you’ll gain hella.”
The Chase viewers were saddened to say goodbye to Amelia so soon on the show
Completely unaware of how her popularity would shoot up from her television appearance, Amelia continued to fight to win her £5,000 from the cash builder round against chaser Shaun Wallace, also known as The Dark Destroyer.
Yet at the time of writing, the contestant has already reached 733 subscribers on her channel.
A disappointing twist saw Amelia fail to beat formidable lawyer Shaun and take her money to the final chase, meaning she may not be able to provide her future wedding guests with a welcome drink of Prosecco.
Seeing the exceptional developments on her social media however, maybe Amelia won’t even care.
