One of the most followed TikTok influencers in Britain, teenager Kyle Thomas has over 1.6 billion likes across his TikTok clips. Now the highest-earning TikTok teenager in the UK, his content ranges from lip sync, comedy clips and dancing videos to adorable and funny snippets of his home life that he shares with 25 pets, including Mylo the meerkat, two marmosets called Freddie and Trish, tree frogs, parrots, cats, dogs, scorpions, a fox and giant land snails. The youngster has already appeared on ITV’s This Morning talking about his success, and he is now hoping to turn his love for wildlife and social media fame into a television career.

The Kent-born social media sensation now lives in Belfast, and thanks to his buzzing internet career has been able to travel the world visiting places like Dubai, Europe and America for his work. The rising star has also been spotted at red carpet events including the premier of the latest Stranger Things season and the Pride of Britain awards. In 2022 Thomas released his debut graphic novel Guardian of the Realm, where he travels to a magical alternative universe full of strange and wild creatures with his animal sidekick, Mylo the meerkat.

Thomas has already shown that his love for animals reaches across the globe, and has shared videos of himself setting birds free at a market in Bali and releasing baby sea turtles into the sea. Whatever this social media sensation does next, his love for animals will be at the heart of his bright future.
