As part of a survey of who 13-18 year-olds looked up to most, 1,200 teenagers were asked to rate a number of celebrities and famous faces on how relatable they felt they were.

Online stars such as vlogging family the Saccone-Jolies and comedian TomSka came out clear winners in the category – five of the top 10 are YouTube stars.

The results suggest British teenagers find it easier to connect with stars who open themselves up online. YouTube star Jonathan Saccone-Joly agrees: "People watch the Saccone-Jolys during break-ups or marriages or deaths and know they can connect with me," he said. "I'm a real person, they can talk to me on Twitter and Snapchat and Facebook."
