From Channel Boost to besties: Meet two of Adam B’s youngest rising stars
As Adam B, the celebrated Irish YouTuber, launches his highly anticipated Channel Launch programme, all eyes are on two of the youngest graduates of his original Channel Boost course—Lydia Alty and Ruby Sussex.
Not only have these two rising YouTubers boosted their online presence, but they’ve also struck up a remarkable friendship that has their followers hooked.
Nineteen year-old, Lydia Alty, an up and coming Royal YouTuber and one of the UK's Youngest Royal Journalists from Buckinghamshire, has been steadily growing her channel with engaging and well-researched royal reports.
With a passion for royal history and current royal events, Lydia is reportedly quickly becoming a go-to source for regal updates and informative royal educational videos. Lydia is also known by many as the no-nonsense YouTuber who is known for speaking out about Royal Drama online and get rid of royal rumours, something which is rarely done online.

Ruby Sussex, who is 16 years old, a budding TV presenter and YouTuber from Hertfordshire, brings an entirely different vibe to the table. Balancing her growing career with GCSE studies, Ruby charms her audience with her infectious energy and natural presenting skills. Ruby's channel is 'RubyTubeYT'
The pair first crossed paths as two of the youngest students on Adam B’s Channel Boost programme, and from the moment they met, the connection was undeniable.
“We just knew from day one that we’d be such good friends,” Ruby shared recently. “Lydia inspires me so much, and I hope to be as kind, caring, and awesome as her one day.”
Lydia, too, has spoken openly about their special bond. “Meeting Ruby through the course was such a blessing,” she said. “She’s funny, kind, and just all-around amazing. I’m so grateful to have her in my life.”
