Stars including Davina McCall and Calum Best have paid tribute to TV presenter and YouTuber Emily Hartridge who has been killed in a crash in south London.

She is believed to be the victim of a crash involving an electric scooter and lorry in Battersea on Friday.

A tribute on the 35-year-old's Instagram page described her as someone who "touched so many lives".

She had more than 340,000 YouTube subscribers to her channel and a big presence on Twitter and Instagram.

Her channel offered health and lifestyle advice, and she founded the YouTube show '10 Reasons Why'. She had interviewed A-listers such as Hugh Jackman and Eddie Redmayne.

Hartridge had also fronted a 4OD documentary on turning 30.

A statement on Hartridge's Instagram page said: "Emily was involved in an accident yesterday and passed away.

"We all loved her to bits and she will never be forgotten."

McCall said in a response to the post on Instagram announcing the death: "My heart goes out to Emily's family and friends. Such a shock. Sending you love and prayers."

Best wrote that it was "so sad and he was so sorry".

Months prior to her death she had told The Sunof her decision to freeze her eggs and hopes of becoming a mum.

On Thursday she had shared a video of herself with a boyfriend on Instagram.

'Funny and kind'
A biography on the website of Insanity Group, her management agency, reveals she had a "huge interest in mental health and fitness".

"Following a very difficult period, she turned her life around," the bio said.

"One of the positive outcomes of her breakdown" was that it became her "mission to remove the stigma surrounding anxiety and depression", it added.

TV historian Greg Jenner tweeted he was "deeply saddened" by the death.

"I met @emilyhartridge on a train 5 years ago, and by the end of the journey we'd shared all sorts of things about our mental health and insomnia," he said.

"She was funny, kind, and open-hearted."

And cue the old mediafags coming out of the woodwork pretending they give a shit because normies liked her.

Mainstream YouTube is shit.

Electric Scooter? You mean a motorcycle? Stupid fucking brits

So was she just some random youtuber, or was she an "influencer"?

Day of the long tea lorry when?

 

[Sīn the Moon Daddy]

I like how they call it a lorry instead of a truck. If I ever get ran over it better be by a truck and not some gay ass limey lorry

A quick glance at her YouTube channel shows its all just Normie vlog shit but her popular stuff is that weird sexual stuff that was super popular half a decade ago.


You Brits gotta use normal words when posting international news at a quick glance i though she ran a mobility scooter into a toilet.

 

[Irrelevant]

Electric scooters are those toys kids have. In the UK they're illegal on both the pavement and road so she shouldn't have been there.

Also note how women are only like a third of cyclists etc but make up two thirds of deaths like these in London. It's better to be a dick in the middle of the road than to hide in a blindspot and get pinned against a wall by a truck.

E: This is some stupid new style roundabout with a cycle lane around the outside so cars and bikes are constantly crossing paths. Scooters still aren't allowed though.

How can someone "touch so many lives" and "saved me during dark times" by posting degnenerate content?
I don't get it.

Peak millenial navel-gazing.

She was using an Electric scooter, how can you Yanks confuse this with a motorcycle?

They only do 30 mph tops...

Anyone who rides this on a major road deserves to be hit by a truck.

They are illegal to use on UK roads and pavements (sidewalks in US?). You can only use them on private land so her own damn fault anyway.

I never even heard of this person before.

What you can ride on the sidewalk in the US varies by state, not a federal thing. Seems odd someone would ride one of those things in the first place. It's sure isn't safe for anything more than a park.

They're illegal to ride anywhere that they might actually be safe to ride. Basically you're going to break the law if you want to use an eScooter without getting killed in traffic

 

[whatever I feel like]

So how many of those followers were real and how many were bots?

Those are all the fuck over the place anywhere near downtown LA and you basically just swipe an app to use them. It's a weird rideshare thing kinda like public bikes but without actual bike racks. From the little I know about them, people seem to tend to ride them on a mix of sidewalks and road shoulders.

Truck-kun is always the best character

pavements (sidewalks in US?).

We call them either.
