Who is TikTok influencer and podcaster Madeline Argy?

During the final year of her degree in 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic put the world on hold, Madeline started making TikToks.
And since then, the 25-year-old has become an internet sensation, breaking through the social media algorithm and amassing an army of fans who watch her humorous videos and lifestyle content.
Since her rise to social media stardom, she has spent much of her time transatlantic between LA and her home in Sussex.
How many followers does Madeline Argy have?
In July 2022, the British creator posted a simple video discussing the time her sister found a worm trapped in her leg, and from there, she went viral.
Since posting the video, it has received over five and a half million likes and is the foundation of her career today.
She now has over 9.6million followers on TikTok and over 3.3million on Instagram, which is a rapid rise from 2023, when she had more than 1.8million on Instagram and only 4million on TikTok.

It is Madeline's low-key, intimate and relatable stories that has allowed her to garner such a following.
In her low-production videos, Madeline is a friend to her followers as she sits in her car with no makeup and wearing spot stickers, telling them about her life.
She opened up about her content with Elite Daily in 2023, saying she has few regrets about the intimate anecdotes she's shared.
She said: 'Maybe I regret sharing some of the TMI stuff, but nothing I've ever done in my personal life has made me a bad person.
"Some of it's embarrassing and overly personal, but none of it was ever wrong. So what's the worst that can happen?'
But it was this style of openness which helped Madeline land her own podcast in 2023.
In 2023, she began hosting Pretty Lonesome with Madeline Argy, which was in connection with Alex Cooper's Unwell Network.
It touches on topics such as anxiety, imposter syndrome, sexuality and mental health.
Is she single?
Madeline also received a mountain of media attention due to her on-again, off-again relationship with rapper Central Cee.

The pair began in 2022, and kept the details of their relationship private for the two years they were together.
In September 2024, Madeline shared more about their relationship after they had broken up on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast.
She described to Alex that the relationship had become toxic.

She said: 'It was a lot of back and forth and like, kind of in a fun, toxic way when you're like, oh God, this needs to end, but f--- it, let's go on one more trip together or let's have one more night.'

The singer had suffered from coronary artery disease as well as Parkinson's, according to the certificate filed at a register office in London and obtained by The New York Times on Tuesday. Osbourne died on July 22 at 76. An email from The Associated Press requesting confirmation from the registry office in Hillingdon Council in northwest London, which covers the district where the Black Sabbath singer was reportedly officially pronounced dead, was not immediately returned. Osbourne's representatives didn't immediately return the AP's emailed requests for comment. The document was submitted by Osbourne's daughter Aimée Osbourne the New York Times reported. Osbourne died of '(a) Out of hospital cardiac arrest (b) Acute myocardial infarction (c) Coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction (Joint Causes),' the certificate states. Osbourne, also a somewhat unexpected reality TV star, announced in 2020 that he had Parkinson's disease after suffering a fall. In announcing his death, his family asked for privacy and said that he was with relatives when he died. Fans came out in droves from across the country to mourn his death in his hometown of Birmingham last week. Osbourne had his final show there just weeks before his death, as admirers watched the heavy metal icon perform while seated on a black throne. 'I don't know what to say, man, I've been laid up for like six years. You have no idea how I feel — thank you from the bottom of my heart,' Osbourne said during his performance. 'You're all … special. Let's go crazy, come on.'

I don't want to go on some crazy shopping spree.' Cach, a dancer from London, agreed: 'Cost of living crisis, I'll save it!'

I was 100 per cent authentically myself and luckily the public liked it, so I'm buzzing. 'I appreciate every moment on the show, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I wouldn't have done it any other way.' Toni will be remembered as one of the series 'Big Three' - a name coined by fans for her trio of friends, with Shakira Khan and Yasmin Pettet who came second and third respectively.

'She was wearing this gold magnificence which she is wearing in the [show] promo in the coffin. "I started talking and she said, 'Are you talking to my breasts?' I said, 'Yes, actually I am'.

Helen Flanagan lands a huge new job after revealing she is selling her £1million family home while addressing 'broke' claims
had landed a huge new gig and is heading to panto land this Christmas. The Coronation Street star, 34, will be spending the festive season at Liverpool's M&S Bank Arena - where she will play the evil stepmother in its pantomime. Her casting was announced on the arena's Instagram account on Monday, where a picture of the actress was shared. Helen donned her evil stepmother costume in the snap, wearing a sequin red and black gown featuring black feathered sleeves, and a gold and red diamante tiara. A source told The Sun: 'Helen is the excited for panto season and can't wait to get into character, she's a brilliant actress and knows how to put on a show. 'She'll also be pocketing a pretty penny, celebrities and soap stars make good money doing panto and always look forward to it as some extra income.' The arena captioned the post announcing the cast: 'CAST ANNOUNCEMENT ✨❄️. 'We're thrilled to reveal the magical cast of this year's Christmas panto, Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs at The Auditorium, M&S Bank Arena! 'Starring: ⭐ Helen Flanagan ⭐ Bippo ⭐ Sean Smith ⭐ Ellis Lloyd ⭐ Andy Brennan ⭐ Rebecca Lake. 'Don't miss out on tickets to the fairest pantomime in all the land. 12th – 28th December 2025. BOOK NOW via the link in our bio.' The job comes after Helen revealed she is selling her £1million family home amid claims she is 'broke '. Helen split from her footballer ex-fiance Scott Sinclair back in 2022, and they share three children - Matilda, nine, Delilah, six, and Charlie, three - together. Earlier this year, Helen told in court how she was 'struggling financially' before being banned from driving for six months after being caught speeding. But Helen recently set the record straight about her finances as she shared the sad reason why she has decided to sell her eight-bedroom £1million Cheshire mansion. Her casting was announced on the arena's Instagram account on Monday, where a picture of the actress was shared 'I'm not in a financial crisis. I'm moving because I really need a fresh start,' she told OK! Magazine. 'Scott surprised me with this house and it was always supposed to be our happy family home, and it wasn't that. 'I like to be light-hearted and I hate to sound depressing, but there is a sadness in this house.' The former soap star admitted it had been 'a turbulent three years' and that she wanted to start fresh with her children. Helen hopes to move to London eventually, but for now, they are planning to stay where they are to avoid disrupting her kids' education. The soap star admitted that she will struggle to downsize from her lavish eight-bedroom house. Speaking on The Declutter Hub podcast with Ingrid Jansen and Lesley Spellman, she insisted she was 'down to earth' but that moving would be hard. I put loads of my savings into making it look really beautiful. It's eight bedrooms which is hard to keep on top of - it's a lot,' she shared. 'When we move I will struggle to downsize - I don't want to not sounds down to earth. Bu it will feel weird. It will be more manageable for me.' Helen split from Scott after 13 years together and then moved on with construction worker Robbie, 45, but they split in May and she now wants to be single.
