The Dolan Twins YouTube channel, which has around 6m subscribers, recently returned to posting videos after taking a break because they "felt stuck creatively".

The brothers said in a vlog that they felt the platform was "losing its spark" and becoming "like a job".

Last year the pair were criticised for organising a fan meet-up in London's Hyde Park around the time a Remembrance Day service was taking place.
