Sienna Keywood believes it was love at first sight when she saw husband George appearing in hit comedy People Just Do Nothing.

It prompted Sienna, who was living in her native at the time, to message George on in 2018. The pair hit it off and moved into a one bedroom flat in London.

Speaking to Love Don’t Judge, Sienna: “Back when I was living in Australia, I was watching People Just Do Nothing and I was like, that is my ideal man. I ended up Googling him.”

George added: “I got a little ding on Instagram and I saw this lady pop up. I was like, ‘Is this a scam?’ The moment we met, we were just majorly attracted to each other, we just clicked straight away.”

As the pair began to share their relationship on social media, they found themselves in the firing line from trolls who began making cruel comments about George’s weight. “They just can’t get over the fact that I’m fat and she’s skinny,” George explained.

The couple, who share son Oliver, four, together, say some of the comments were particularly bad, and even claim there are “hate websites” dedicated to them. Sienna explained: “People are like, if I ever see you in public I’m going to throw acid in your face.”

She added: “I do feel quite anxious sometimes when I go out with George because we get so many threats online that I do think, ‘What could actually happen?’ I do notice people staring at us a lot when we’re out, I notice it every time we go out if I’m honest.”

George said: “People can visually see that I am fat and that is a problem for a lot of people. I think a lot of it comes from jealousy because they see my wife and think, ‘wow, she’s very attractive, why can’t I have that?’”

They however decided to capitalise on the negative reaction online, boasting hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram. George now earns up to £30,000 a month through social media and the pair moved to a five-bedroom mansion in Surrey.

George said: “Me and my wife built up a TikTok to 1.1 million followers but she recently got that banned unfortunately.” The pair also run separate accounts, where George says Sienna is “more like a typical influencer” while he sells tech products.

He explained: “I’m the hard seller and I basically do live streams every day selling products. Some months I’ve made £30,000 in a month. We’ve made so much more money from social media than we ever thought we would make.

“When you realize you can make a lot of money from just working from home and still be able to be a parent and be with your child, why wouldn’t you? I don’t want to work a nine to five if I can make thousands of pounds a day and still be with my son.”

George, who played Craig in People Just Do Nothing, says he has recently shed over eight stone by doing live streams on a treadmill and cutting back on calories. He explained: “I’ve been losing weight for some time and I’ve lost eight and a half stone, predominantly by calorie deflex and I’ve introduced 60 minutes on a treadmill every day as well.”
