John Nellis adds Strictly to his football lookalike search

The ballroom-themed upload passes a million views as Nellis adds about 100,000 subscribers in a day.

Channel: John Nellis Story of October 22, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The channel is adding 100,002 subscribers a day, 9.3 times a normal day (10,791).

John Nellis's football side quests have made room for the ballroom. "Who is YOUR Football Lookalike? | Strictly Come Dancing Edition" has passed a million views, bringing a television crossover into a channel more often occupied with players, stadiums and improbable challenges.

Alongside that milestone, Nellis has added about 100,000 subscribers in a day, far above his usual daily increase. It is a subscriber surge rather than an across-the-board acceleration: daily views are running at roughly half his usual pace.

The Strictly edition offers a different route into his football world. His most-watched regular upload is "Kylian Mbappé Surprised His Biggest Fan," while his biggest Short asks whether he can cook a steak inside a stadium. Finding football connections in unexpected places is a recurring part of the channel.

His next upload returns the question to a player: "Can a Premier League Player Pack Themselves?" Celebrity lookalikes have company in Nellis's latest batch of football puzzles.
