Not every day a YouTuber with over 24 million subscribers ends up in Portlaoise.
This was the case on Tuesday though, when English YouTube star JJ Olatunji, widely known as KSI, was spotted in Portlaoise Shopping Centre.
KSI was pictured alongside fellow 'Sidemen' member Tobi Brown (TBJZL) during their flying visit which culminated in KSI trying on a Laois GAA jersey!
