Jude Bellingham is following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo after announcing the launch of his new YouTube channel. The England superstar is currently recovering from an injury that has seen him sit out of Real Madrid's recent matches and miss the international break with the Three Lions. However, Bellingham has stayed busy during his rehabilitation and has now revealed a new YouTube channel just weeks after Ronaldo took the online video platform by storm. Ronaldo has enjoyed a meteoric rise on YouTube as he became the fastest growing person on the platform to gain 1million subscribers by achieving the feat in under 90 minutes and now holding over 57million. Now Bellingham wants to do the same. The 21-year-old has grown up in an era of rising YouTube celebrities and launching his new channel revealed how he is going to give fans an insight into his first year at Real Madrid and England's Euro 2024 journey.
