Karl Hughes is perhaps better known for his massive social media following than for his small acting roles in Hollyoaks, video short Peter Pan, TV series The Endz and 2010 film Small Creatures.

With over 234,000 followers on Twitter, and nearly 250,000 loops on his Vine account the budding actor has built a legion of fans, even creating his own Karl Hughes brand of t-shirts featuring his initials and selling a 2015 calendar on his personal website. The social media maven is now using his new found fame to raise his profile by attending celebrity parties including Storm Model Agency's London Fashion Week party, and can be seen regularly playing in Soccer Six celebrity tournaments.
