When Tish Simmonds uploaded the "broom, broom I'm in my mum's car" Vine, she probably didn't imagine she'd achieve global fame or be able to count the likes of Kim Kardashian among her fans.
Fast forward two years and the 19-year-old, who lives in Huddersfield, has appeared on Radio One, gained 45K followers on Twitter and admits she's still stopped in the street for selfies.
But what is it really like being the star of a viral clip?

Well, firstly, despite the blue tick and celebrity supporters, going viral doesn't exactly help pay the bills. In fact, the teenager, who lives at home with her mum, says she doesn't make any cash from her clips.
"I wish I did make money out of it, unfortunately I don't," she said.
However, since becoming "internet famous", she's been able to create some income by appearing at clubs and charity events.

She also appeared on Nick Grimshaw's BBC Radio One Breakfast Show, met Dapper Laughs, and had her Vine reenacted by Harry Styles at a One Direction concert. Which is a pretty big deal to be fair.
Tish said: "I was so shocked when the video blew up because all of my mates were texting me and stuff and then the next minute I was on the likes of TheLADbible and people like Kim Kardashian were saying they loved my video."
But despite the high profile attention, Tish tells me it was difficult to adjust to her new found fame. Not all of the feedback was positive.
"I was bit stressed at first as I didn't know what was going on. My number of followers was going up and that was great but not all the messages were nice to read," she said.

"I got lots of hate everyday from that video and still do now.
"It is hard because I suffer from depression and anxiety and I get loads of people on vine telling me to kill myself and stuff like that."
At 23, I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to Vine so I'm (probably naively) shocked by this. However, what's more shocking is that Tish tells me she's 'used to it'.
"I get down most days when I read that stuff," she said.

"But I talk to my friends and they make my day happy so that stops me from deleting Vine or Twitter altogether.

"Usually I just delete the hateful comments and block any users who keep doing it.
"I still love making videos and I will never stop doing that."

But is it worth it? Well, Tish says although it can be tough to read vile comments about herself online, she wants to continue being a recognised face on Vine and would also like to pursue a career in acting.
When asked what her advice would be to any new Vine stars out there she said: "Keep doing your best and don't let haters bring you down."
