My first impression of him was a complete knob and I was obviously right. You have integrity and earned the respect of many people on here,so stick with what you are doing and all will work out good mate! Best wishes👍🏻
I challenged this individual about his lies regarding his health, alleged serious heart condition, on deaths door, the fact that he was never going to drink again - none of which have been proved to be true. It was solely for the sympathy vote & a narcissists typical modus operandi for getting attention. Be well Darren, hope life picks up for you again.
This lee guy or what ever he calls himself is just a chancer he's the one that uses people &just like a coward he's not open too reasonable debate he's child like throws a hissy fit goes all poe faced then just blocks you .
I unsubscribed from his channel months ago. The constant click bait and fakeness became too much. The health scare drama was the final straw and an insult to people who are genuinely ill. Love your content bud
I saw through him when he vlogged his trips to hospital. No one who is seriously ill would think to hop on camera and upload to RUclips about it. Good on you for getting your side of the story out there and exposing the grifter for who he really is 👍
I even sent him get well soon. Outside the hospital waiting for his test results was cringe. It got him good viewing figures. That's all he wanted. 2 weeks later eating fish and chips every day and back on the pints.
@courtneywilliams4143 it turned out tobe the fake mcmaster aka Lee davey ,I didn't know about his dying Swan act with the heart palpitations heart murmers etc I only know of his cancer proper gander tour.the subject went quiet after 2 weeks I think he'd realised he'd over stepped the mark &couldn't go through with the scam any longer with the go fund me page.
Ps DJ I asked MM nicely on his recent blogs page, about this, my comment was swiftly removed, says it all really, no reply nothing! Take care DJ your definitely the real deal! I look forward to future videos Ps I didnt like the way he treated a fellow you tuber from Blackpool, sorted of humiliated him for his own gain
Made a great decision to unsubscibe from Lee 'the macmaster'. He wound me up with his clickbait and his overinflated view of himself. However, I chose to make my choice. What is good to hear is you're getting on well. I love your videos and you're funny and intelligent- you seem a genuine bloke. What's sad is when someone becomes an absolute duck within a friendship. Good luck Darren
I Can't believe he didn't pay for any drinks considering darren put him up bought desk&chair on macks subscriber's you'd of thought they would have gone Dutch.
Calm, concise, accurate and well said DJ. Thank you for confirming and adding meat on the bone to what happened. There was one video in particular I remember, where I spotted a few things that weren't right. Keep doing what you're doing. Also, I think it was important to not mention the individual by name. Let people believe what they want.
Sorry to read this Darren. I love your content and also the other persons of whom you speak, and I can see you’re genuinely upset about what’s happened between you both, and it’s certainly made me think differently about him, and it’s definitely confirmed any reservations I had about him that behind the comedic facade is a scheming money orientated go getter who’s not bothered who he uses and stands on to achieve his goals. Keep up your great output my friend and hopefully you’ll get the success and rewards your hard work and generosity obviously deserves. 🤞
You are head and shoulders above him. When the "cancer" storyline was told i was fuming. I recently lost both my parents to cancer. I too unsubscribed. I love your honest and upfront approach. Thank you Darren ❤
Yeah, i take GBC with a pinch of salt, but hes also latched onto a guy from Blackpool who appears to be a "gentle soul" but he trys to make the guy look stupid, as he does with everyone he tags onto.
I admire you for speaking out about an absolutely horrid person. You're the real deal, you don't belittle people, you respect them. You're better off without the toxic attitude of him. Good luck with this channel
Interesting how misaligned values can define what using looks like to a person. You gave free London bed and board given in friendship (and even if not) not valued. That sounds like someone being used too. I would just move forward as you are. I find your vids genuine and relaxing. No gimmicks. Keep showing us London.
I seen you originally on his videos, and pretty much unsubscribed from him and joined your channel. You are clearly the better of the two. He's just full of himself. Keep being positive chap.
I unsubscribed from him ages ago, couldn't be doing with his over the top silliness. As ive put before, i like you and your channel darren as theres no ego and nothing flashy about you. Keep up the good work 👍👍
His act is seen through by most, this “alter ego” bollocks is just a front. He’s obsessed with attention, that’s clear as day. Only thing I’ll give him credit for is having you on and making me sub to you. Haven’t looked back since. You are a diamond geezer!
This guy makes me cringe acting the fool clout chasing his health issues for attention never lead or amount to anything dosnt do lives because he can't edit his false Ness.his vlogs with tim are a cringe fest of buddy buddy fakeness.jumping on the ev car market for clout.
I admire his dedication, he has a formula that works for his 'YORKSHIRE!' audience, but not his methods and that it's at the expense of others. I wonder how long Jeff Carter, Geoff Buys Cars et Al will last? This is all a bit Megan Markle...
@@DarrenJohnkeep going with the good honest reviews, I did ask him what happened with his bowel problem as he soon stopped the gluten free - didn’t get an answer, just a like! Also didn’t like him always asking for money for his friend Angies son when she clearly wasn’t short and they were having family holidays You were used - don’t know where he would have put you up if you had visited him as he lives in his ex wife’s home and visits his partner at weekends (does he even have a home of his own?)
Just keep doing what you are doing you come across as honest and truthful just think you are a nice guy and like you said you don't need people like them in your life
Morning Darren, I'm glad you've had your say and moving on. We still watch some on his vlogs, mainly the Tenerife ones as we love anything Tenerife as it's our happy place, although he's not meant to be doing them anymore so we will see. He's always changing his mind to suit views. We did notice that when he went into his "silly" mode on the vlogs you did together you never looked comfortable. Keep up the great work, loved the series riding all the way to Tenerife and looking forward to your Bangkok trip.
Unsubscribed him bout the time he did his dishonesty. He is user and abuses peoples good nature's for his own agrandisement. And tries to make fools of them.feel a lot happier watching tube without him. Good on you for speaking up.
How often do we see this kind of thing after a fling. 2 lonely middle aged men, home drinking together and one thing leads to another. Macmaster has handled it very immaturely!
How many others has he fell out with? You aren't the first and probably not the last. Strange, It's never his fault!! Keep doing what you do. You don't need him.
Darren as a 52 year old I feel your pain ..... I have in my lifetime been a GP a marathon runner ( look up harris new york marathon 2008 came aboot 400th ) a biker ( Harley sportster 883R ) an avid follower of your channel and macmaster as have lived in London and Nottingham and hope to support whatever you do..... I'm awaiting a cardiac operation so appreciate the " life is too short " quote ... Meanwhile try the biggin hill pie shop and airport
I have unfollowed the MacMaster, the guy is very lonely and childlike there is a pattern to this person as he also fell out with the knight strider!!!! I enjoy your videos and saved the places in my Google maps to visit in the future.. The India looks like great restaurant to visit.
Fair play DJ I can tell the authenticity in your voice and take your word for it that’s what went down and it does make sense. Does anyone know what happened between MM and Knightstrider? Always wondered what happened there.
That time he was in the hospital car park complaining about his health he probably never went through the hospital doors probably never had an appointment. All click bait and very low thing to do. Like someone shouted to him in Blackpool recently told him to go and get a real job . He is one big fake . I for one will be un-subscribing from that clown.
Darren, whatever the situation I’m here for you! Not because someone brought me to you but because I like your videos. I’ve been drifting away from that “other channel” anyway because it’s becoming clear it’s not about the content just the views and also the stupid click bait insulting my intelligence. sometimes people pick people up and put them down when it suits them because they serve a purpose, you’ve served yours and now the next one is serving his. Take care mate I’m not going anywhere
I’ve heard from a very good source that this person has buggered off to Australia for two weeks as well as going to America and Tenerife all by himself in the space of just two months- leaving his poor wife and kids at home each time, a very morally ambiguous individual indeed
Hi Darren,I haven’t watched (Him) for a long time now…Watching the videos of you two together,it looked on screen as though you were the best of mates..It’s sad that he chose to go down that route of making friends and then dismissing them.Yes he might have got you some new subscribers on your channel,but you can’t go on saying thank you.At least you have come on and explained what happened.Its up to the viewing public now isn’t it.Take care.
I thought the w**kmaster was a knob the minute he had a pop at Mister Rate My Takeaway. Mister “Right My Friends” can do one. What friends? 🤣 You can do without people like That Darren. FYI I’m going to stick with your other channel as it’s all about the food 😋
Sometimes we realise just how much certain people will keep taking. It never ends until you put a stop and say enough! These type of people are generally tight with money and will happily outstay their welcome if you allow it. Ive been treat this way more than I care to think about, no more xx
The woe is me supposed health scare he had was an insult to the NHS since his new healthy lifestyle was very short lived. To me that was like watching Boris Johnson clapping the NHS then partying.What a kick in the teeth to those hard working individuals.
I’m so glad you’ve spoken your truth, I knew and had every faith that you would! Like you I myself saw through his false persuade a long time ago! Hes nothing but a liar! A bully too… sick and tired of him, waiting for his comeback to this… oh he will… he can’t help himself! X
Yeah we get it. Got it a long time ago. We guessed what the problem was. You're not the first to be treated badly by him and won't be the last. I think people can detect the genuine vloggers like yourself.
Mack is so dam sensitive what he doesn't realise is if he doesn't block people he'd be on 200,000 subscriber's by now even his views from his vloggs aren't exactly great.
I was finished with his channel the minute he used Cancer has clickbait, that was a very low thing to do and summed the guy up. About time someone called him out, well done Darren.
I thought I was the only one who thought that was a complete and utter farce! Then all,of a sudden, no more mention of it. He's a piece of work isn't he.
Yes folks he's a proper con artist it took me awhile to figure him out,as if he's big buddies with Jeff Carter there chalk&cheesey this won't stop here he'll come back @ darren,I'm surprised the craic master didn't see through him.tim used him for exposure for more subs.those airline vlogs are painful smile thumbs up shake the head raise the eyebrows play the crappie music fly boy.pass me the sick bag,mack wouldn't know the taste difference between a decent sausage & a poodles willy.he couldn't even recognise heinz baked beans but he reckoned they were the best.even nightstalker saw sence in the end.
@@DarrenJohn slightly unrelated Darren, I mind ages ago you done a video about mixing Lager and Fanta Lemon but I can't find it now, looked through some old videos, maybe I missed it. I'm over next month and fancy trying it but can't mind the mix ratio 🤷♂️
There's a difference between Darren and the other fella. One uses honesty in their titles and the other uses clickbait (and openly admits this.) What works for you clearly does not work for him and vice versa as you are not that type of person. I started to watch your videos after my Mother passed away as a kind of escape of reality and because you seem like a decent, honest guy according to your reviews of local cafe's etc etc. No gimmics, no BS just DJ with a camera and honesty. We watch your channel for you. Let's not forget how much of a "food reviewer" he is when we have "Beangate" to look back on lol. Keep it up DJ
Aww Daz, so glad to hear you are doing well buddy!! I love both of your channel and find them informative and entertaining. I think I know the guy you're talking about and wondered why he hadn't been to see you recently. You look after yourself my friend, you are loved!!!! Looking forward to Thailand videos. Dr Paul
Im glad you said this i really am ...you did alot for him ,that is guilt on his part by blocking you ,if you can not say it to ones face and go around telling ppl things for siders that is gaslighting and inspite there doing . So what if he got you subcribers ,you shown him places and are organized did everything .gone to his head absolutely. at least you dont leave your family out of your holidays .no Darren your a fantastic man smart and a gentleman and you dont snob ppl .❤😊 love you Darren proud of you .
Your point was proven many months ago, DJ, telling an honest and genuine person from a lounge lizard, used car salesman is easy for anyone who is discerning, be who you are fella
I’m behind you Darren and although I’m a bit out of the loop on most of this due to personal issues in my own life in 2022/3, I’ve given his channel the ‘red card’ and deleted my subscription! Your channels are much more relevant to my situation and interests in any case! Keep up the good work and I wish you well for the future.
Currently binging all your videos as just found you on here. I think I know who you’re talking about. He is odd to say the least. And so irritating. You’re so genuine DJ. Absolutely love your content. Especially the London stuff. You’re awesome, I hope you get everything you want ❤
Sorry late in commenting. You are way and above the child like 50 ++ self obsessed one. I unsubscribed from him many moons ago. Please don't change your path too much. I enjoy your food and London videos. Also your music. 😍😍
Thank you for this vlog, it is sad when people who you think are friends behave like that and I know from personal experience how upsetting it can be. Keeping being you and taking us on your journey, whether you are eating, travelling or just showing us a moment in time. The friends you do have are the ones who are important, that is off camera and outside RUclips as well as on. Best wishes.
Just seen this video Darren. I’ve always had my thoughts he was that kind of unkind person. You’re by far the bigger & better man. Love all your content! Keep it coming & keep smiling 👊
I've unsubscribed from the rollicking great walloper. He got right on my last nerve with his cancer shenanigans. Such a low thing to do.You keep doing you Darren. Your far and away better than him.
I saw through him over a year ago - hence my user name. I found that you can select an option in RUclips to stop his videos showing up in my feed - it's the best thing I ever did.
Darren, look after yourself and take care, I have followed you from the very beginning and will continue to do so. Can't wait to see what's next on your agender. You are a totally genuine guy and don't deserve such rubbish. XX
We remember fit for over 50 Darren . Dont let him wesr you down .. he did the same with Andrew ( staying at his dad's apartments) when he needed a place to stay in tenerife cheap if not free .. he's a user until he no longer needs you . I don't watch him anymore but my hubby does ( only when I'm not in the house) loving the new channel more walls around London would be great and you really need to visit the Tower of London I'm from Yorkshire am even I've been twice ,
I'm subscribed to your channel for you, the Darren John experience and have never thought of anyone else being involved in it other than those you introduce along the way, keep doing what you do, you don't need anyone else. 🤗👍
Purely on the amount of views that this video has already had just shows that people are interested in what went on. It’s good to finally have it out in the open and a line drawn in the sand. All the best with the new channel.
Thank you for being so honest. I unsubscribed to the other fella many months ago. The clickbait health scare was the final straw. He has a young family he never sees and lives in his ex wifes back bedroom. If that sacrifice gets you 150,000 subscribers he's welcome to it. Keep doing what you do Darren and sod the pea brained haters!
@@pywacketttrixabell6534 I think it's some sort of tax fiddle or Sarah won't have him near Leeds. The smallest form of criticism on his videos you get blocked and muted as i did because i saw through his lies
Darren, sorry but just realized who you were talking about. Even though I was introduced to you by him. I have stopped watching his videos, it’s 90% about him. He likes to hear his own voice.
You're not the first person he's fell out with & certainly won't be the last. Overtime i found his all attitude changed, especially after his spell in hospital. Keep on keeping on mate. Paul. Manchester UK
Quite right to address this and lay it to rest, Darren. You did well to rise above it for the past year and I think many clued up people read between the lines a long time ago and worked it out...and have since chosen whom to follow and not follow. Hopefully, this will clarify for those who were unaware or haven't 'put 2+2 together'. No point getting baited or engaging with a 'muck slinger'. Onwards and (authentically) upwards for you, Darren.
Hey Darren. Think most knew something had gone down. I'm sorry it ended that way. It isn't just you though. You know it, I've seen it! I work in marketing and see people befriend people for their own gains unfortunately. Onwards and upwards.
keep that head up Daz.....fight the good fight.....................darren let these yokes behind you.ya gotta now for headsake...just steam ahead pal...FOLKS..RUclips isnt life..friendship is for life....glad you made this video Darren.
Well I have unsubscribed the said man. I found you through him and you are genuine and well done being a grown up. He is a child and just wait your time it will come to roost. Well done to you to call it out. Much love ❤️ to you. Xx
I found you via him, unfollowed him after his cancer scam 🤬 you have fabulous content that I enjoy. It's nice to have someone honest. All his videos are cluck bait 🙄 please look after yourself. You have 2 fantastic children who need you. Keep smiling that beautiful smile Darren, Look forward to new and upcoming videos ❤ xx
Yes. Anyone with reasonable intellect knows who you are talking about! It is truly disappointing that people do such things to others especially one who is supposedly a friend! Glad you are building back your life after your job issues! You were always the straightforward one and the one that came across as sincere. All the best with the new channel, I will keep checking it out!
If you was at a table and wanting advice. To the left was the person we speak of and to the right is Darren. The person on the left would tell you anything that suits him. Darren would actually give you advice and set you on a road and be there for ya if ya needed anymore advice. Now that just shows exactly the difference of these two people. Plus this person has had loads difference "minions" on his channel and I can't stand alot them. So if I seen 1000 videos with them in it I still would never subscribe to them. I seen a few with Darren and I subscribed to him cos I liked him. So Darren pretty much helped himself getting where he is. Now let's all move on and support Darren and his channel. Your the better man
Well done for putting it out there DJ...if he continues with his rotten behaviour and tricks then he's rolled the dice..as the Thai people say: up to him.. He's a clown or as my old boss would say, a Fruit Bat You take care of yourself and hope we can have a meet up when you're in Thailand. Plenty of YT vids about Thailand but would recommend Bangkok Pat, Buzz in Pattaya ( Trevor Knight) and Ndtvi ...all been here years and give good advice..
My first impression of him was a complete knob and I was obviously right.
You have integrity and earned the respect of many people on here,so stick with what you are doing and all will work out good mate!
Best wishes👍🏻
Well said.
Bravo
Spot on mate, DJ is real thats the difference and what I like about him. You can see it in his kids, very well brought up by a man with values.
@@northbankgooner6126 Couldn’t of put it better myself👌🏻
The thing to remember Darren is to look after yourself both physically and mentally as you have two wonderful children that think the world of you.
Yes
I challenged this individual about his lies regarding his health, alleged serious heart condition, on deaths door, the fact that he was never going to drink again - none of which have been proved to be true. It was solely for the sympathy vote & a narcissists typical modus operandi for getting attention.
Be well Darren, hope life picks up for you again.
Did he block you.
@@andywrong3247 Strangely enough, no.
Absolutely spot on. He's never mentioned anything about his health apart from quitting drinking for his enlarged liver. Guys a fake!
My partner asked him about his heart condition. Immediately blocked . Says it all really

Here here.
He is the clickbait king, the guys just a narcissist, desperate for views, can’t believe the sheep still watch him
You are so correct!! That health scare, if it really was, has never been mentioned again has it?
@@bigteno4597 me too
I have also unsubscribed from Lee Mcmaster. What a twat🐷
I saw through him when he vlogged his trips to hospital. No one who is seriously ill would think to hop on camera and upload to RUclips about it.
Good on you for getting your side of the story out there and exposing the grifter for who he really is 👍
He took advantage of your kindness, you are far better off without the numb skull. 😊
I unfollowed him ages ago ,when he started his fake heart attacks.proves your point really.
Your lucky we had to go through his clout chasing fake cancer diagnosis stories.
I even sent him get well soon. Outside the hospital waiting for his test results was cringe. It got him good viewing figures. That's all he wanted. 2 weeks later eating fish and chips every day and back on the pints.
Who was it?

Like someone shouted to him in Blackpool recently told him to go and get a real job . He is one big fake . I for one will be un-subscribing from that clown.
Keep doing what your doing darren. We are on your side , OTC 💪
Your an honest and genuine guy Darren. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself mate. Always welcome to Ireland 🇮🇪
Darren, whatever the situation I’m here for you! Not because someone brought me to you but because I like your videos. I’ve been drifting away from that “other channel” anyway because it’s becoming clear it’s not about the content just the views and also the stupid click bait insulting my intelligence. sometimes people pick people up and put them down when it suits them because they serve a purpose, you’ve served yours and now the next one is serving his. Take care mate I’m not going anywhere
Couldn't agree more. The 'other channel' seems to have sunk to new lows of just one man waffling to a camera and very little of value.
Well said that man !! And trust me your true subscribers are going nowhere !! 👏👏👏
I’ve heard from a very good source that this person has buggered off to Australia for two weeks as well as going to America and Tenerife all by himself in the space of just two months- leaving his poor wife and kids at home each time, a very morally ambiguous individual indeed
Fantastic parenthood
And his office is still at his Ex Wife’s address. How does that work
Hi Darren,I haven’t watched (Him) for a long time now…Watching the videos of you two together,it looked on screen as though you were the best of mates..It’s sad that he chose to go down that route of making friends and then dismissing them.Yes he might have got you some new subscribers on your channel,but you can’t go on saying thank you.At least you have come on and explained what happened.Its up to the viewing public now isn’t it.Take care.
Everyone Knows you're talking about the MacMaster, So why not say so, We saw him steal your Creed!
Just playing his games
Put up rubbish, must have returned it afterwards.
@@lparky4409What
LM is an A1 toerag. Totally fake, can see right through it.
McMaster is fake you are not Darren , fuck him .😊
I thought the w**kmaster was a knob the minute he had a pop at Mister Rate My Takeaway. Mister “Right My Friends” can do one. What friends? 🤣 You can do without people like That Darren. FYI I’m going to stick with your other channel as it’s all about the food 😋
Sometimes we realise just how much certain people will keep taking. It never ends until you put a stop and say enough! These type of people are generally tight with money and will happily outstay their welcome if you allow it. Ive been treat this way more than I care to think about, no more xx
The woe is me supposed health scare he had was an insult to the NHS since his new healthy lifestyle was very short lived. To me that was like watching Boris Johnson clapping the NHS then partying.What a kick in the teeth to those hard working individuals.
I’m so glad you’ve spoken your truth, I knew and had every faith that you would! Like you I myself saw through his false persuade a long time ago! Hes nothing but a liar! A bully too… sick and tired of him, waiting for his comeback to this… oh he will… he can’t help himself! X
Yeah we get it. Got it a long time ago. We guessed what the problem was. You're not the first to be treated badly by him and won't be the last. I think people can detect the genuine vloggers like yourself.
Mack is so dam sensitive what he doesn't realise is if he doesn't block people he'd be on 200,000 subscriber's by now even his views from his vloggs aren't exactly great.
Hi Darren, sorry this has happened but you’re the better person and we are all with you my friend. Keep up the great work
I was finished with his channel the minute he used Cancer has clickbait, that was a very low thing to do and summed the guy up. About time someone called him out, well done Darren.
Yeah, that was the lowest of the low
I thought I was the only one who thought that was a complete and utter farce! Then all,of a sudden, no more mention of it. He's a piece of work isn't he.
Wow I must have missed that he Done that That's just messed up,And despicable!
Yes folks he's a proper con artist it took me awhile to figure him out,as if he's big buddies with Jeff Carter there chalk&cheesey this won't stop here he'll come back @ darren,I'm surprised the craic master didn't see through him.tim used him for exposure for more subs.those airline vlogs are painful smile thumbs up shake the head raise the eyebrows play the crappie music fly boy.pass me the sick bag,mack wouldn't know the taste difference between a decent sausage & a poodles willy.he couldn't even recognise heinz baked beans but he reckoned they were the best.even nightstalker saw sence in the end.
@@DarrenJohn slightly unrelated Darren, I mind ages ago you done a video about mixing Lager and Fanta Lemon but I can't find it now, looked through some old videos, maybe I missed it. I'm over next month and fancy trying it but can't mind the mix ratio 🤷♂️
There's a difference between Darren and the other fella. One uses honesty in their titles and the other uses clickbait (and openly admits this.) What works for you clearly does not work for him and vice versa as you are not that type of person. I started to watch your videos after my Mother passed away as a kind of escape of reality and because you seem like a decent, honest guy according to your reviews of local cafe's etc etc. No gimmics, no BS just DJ with a camera and honesty. We watch your channel for you. Let's not forget how much of a "food reviewer" he is when we have "Beangate" to look back on lol. Keep it up DJ
Love it
Aww Daz, so glad to hear you are doing well buddy!! I love both of your channel and find them informative and entertaining. I think I know the guy you're talking about and wondered why he hadn't been to see you recently. You look after yourself my friend, you are loved!!!! Looking forward to Thailand videos. Dr Paul
I thought it was him. Forget him. I always considered him a bellend. You are a gent
Im glad you said this i really am ...you did alot for him ,that is guilt on his part by blocking you ,if you can not say it to ones face and go around telling ppl things for siders that is gaslighting and inspite there doing .
So what if he got you subcribers ,you shown him places and are organized did everything .gone to his head absolutely. at least you dont leave your family out of your holidays .no Darren your a fantastic man smart and a gentleman and you dont snob ppl .❤😊 love you Darren proud of you .
Thank you Lisa
Hello Darren I am keeping with you on both channels, take care.
Your point was proven many months ago, DJ, telling an honest and genuine person from a lounge lizard, used car salesman is easy for anyone who is discerning, be who you are fella
I’m behind you Darren and although I’m a bit out of the loop on most of this due to personal issues in my own life in 2022/3, I’ve given his channel the ‘red card’ and deleted my subscription! Your channels are much more relevant to my situation and interests in any case! Keep up the good work and I wish you well for the future.
Love watching both of your channels x
You've always come across as a really lovely , kind and very honest person ❤...
Thank you, very kind of you
You are such a beautiful soul stay strong you are the better person ❤
Currently binging all your videos as just found you on here. I think I know who you’re talking about. He is odd to say the least. And so irritating. You’re so genuine DJ. Absolutely love your content. Especially the London stuff. You’re awesome, I hope you get everything you want ❤
Appreciate it
With you 100% Darren and looking forward to what 2024 has is store.
Sorry late in commenting. You are way and above the child like 50 ++ self obsessed one. I unsubscribed from him many moons ago. Please don't change your path too much. I enjoy your food and London videos. Also your music. 😍😍
Thank you for this vlog, it is sad when people who you think are friends behave like that and I know from personal experience how upsetting it can be. Keeping being you and taking us on your journey, whether you are eating, travelling or just showing us a moment in time. The friends you do have are the ones who are important, that is off camera and outside RUclips as well as on. Best wishes.
Just seen this video Darren. I’ve always had my thoughts he was that kind of unkind person. You’re by far the bigger & better man. Love all your content! Keep it coming & keep smiling 👊
Head up high fella stay strong and enjoy life
I've unsubscribed from the rollicking great walloper. He got right on my last nerve with his cancer shenanigans. Such a low thing to do.You keep doing you Darren. Your far and away better than him.
Yes, agreed. That was low
I saw through him over a year ago - hence my user name. I found that you can select an option in RUclips to stop his videos showing up in my feed - it's the best thing I ever did.
I agreed i cannot stand the idiot.
Please share how to do that 🙏
Darren, look after yourself and take care, I have followed you from the very beginning and will continue to do so. Can't wait to see what's next on your agender. You are a totally genuine guy and don't deserve such rubbish. XX
We remember fit for over 50 Darren . Dont let him wesr you down .. he did the same with Andrew ( staying at his dad's apartments) when he needed a place to stay in tenerife cheap if not free .. he's a user until he no longer needs you . I don't watch him anymore but my hubby does ( only when I'm not in the house) loving the new channel more walls around London would be great and you really need to visit the Tower of London I'm from Yorkshire am even I've been twice ,
I think Darren told me once that you're not allowed to film in the tower of London.
Think you can film if you get advanced permission ( might be worth an ask)and photographs are allowed everywhere except crown jewels and Chapel
This thread has just reminded me of your “beangate” vlog.
How he agreed to it I’ll never know. You completely showed him up for what he is.
Believe it or not - it was his idea 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I'm subscribed to your channel for you, the Darren John experience and have never thought of anyone else being involved in it other than those you introduce along the way, keep doing what you do, you don't need anyone else. 🤗👍
Thanks David, appreciate it
Purely on the amount of views that this video has already had just shows that people are interested in what went on. It’s good to finally have it out in the open and a line drawn in the sand. All the best with the new channel.
It was best kept secret in showbiz till schofield came out of the closet to play.
Just keep doing what you do Darren take care look forward to the next vlog 😊
You are our favourite blogger Darren, rise above this knob. Love your videos mate, keep going, you make us happy, you’re an absolute diamond sir.
Thank you for being so honest. I unsubscribed to the other fella many months ago. The clickbait health scare was the final straw. He has a young family he never sees and lives in his ex wifes back bedroom. If that sacrifice gets you 150,000 subscribers he's welcome to it. Keep doing what you do Darren and sod the pea brained haters!
I wondered why he don't live with his family and he is never with them
@@pywacketttrixabell6534 I think it's some sort of tax fiddle or Sarah won't have him near Leeds. The smallest form of criticism on his videos you get blocked and muted as i did because i saw through his lies
"Hello my friends........".
It does my head in.
He's probably the biggest plonker in the world 🌎.
Darren, sorry but just realized who you were talking about. Even though I was introduced to you by him. I have stopped watching his videos, it’s 90% about him. He likes to hear his own voice.
Your channel is most enjoyable Darren, just carry on showing great content
Much appreciated
You're not the first person he's fell out with & certainly won't be the last. Overtime i found his all attitude changed, especially after his spell in hospital. Keep on keeping on mate.
Paul. Manchester UK
Well said DJ, so glad you put this out there
I think most people can who the genuine people are
Keep doing you 👍
Gracefully put DJ !! It always hurts when people who you felt you knew let you down. Sky is your limit
Quite right to address this and lay it to rest, Darren. You did well to rise above it for the past year and I think many clued up people read between the lines a long time ago and worked it out...and have since chosen whom to follow and not follow. Hopefully, this will clarify for those who were unaware or haven't 'put 2+2 together'. No point getting baited or engaging with a 'muck slinger'. Onwards and (authentically) upwards for you, Darren.
Hey Darren. Think most knew something had gone down. I'm sorry it ended that way. It isn't just you though. You know it, I've seen it!
I work in marketing and see people befriend people for their own gains unfortunately.
Onwards and upwards.
Knew this all along !! HE USED YOU And your friendship Shame on him !! And through your hospitality in your face
You take care xxxx 🎉 Max xxxx
keep that head up Daz.....fight the good fight.....................darren let these yokes behind you.ya gotta now for headsake...just steam ahead pal...FOLKS..RUclips isnt life..friendship is for life....glad you made this video Darren.
Well I have unsubscribed the said man. I found you through him and you are genuine and well done being a grown up. He is a child and just wait your time it will come to roost. Well done to you to call it out. Much love ❤️ to you. Xx
Hi Darren I am sticking with you on both your channels, what ever has gone on with other people has no effect on enjoying your content.
I found you via him, unfollowed him after his cancer scam 🤬 you have fabulous content that I enjoy. It's nice to have someone honest. All his videos are cluck bait 🙄 please look after yourself. You have 2 fantastic children who need you. Keep smiling that beautiful smile Darren, Look forward to new and upcoming videos ❤ xx
Hi Darren, glad you have had your say, and cleared your head, great video, don't let this get to you.
Yes. Anyone with reasonable intellect knows who you are talking about! It is truly disappointing that people do such things to others especially one who is supposedly a friend! Glad you are building back your life after your job issues! You were always the straightforward one and the one that came across as sincere. All the best with the new channel, I will keep checking it out!
Saw through him ages ago. Someone who has nowhere to live, leaching off other people. Keep up the good work Darren
If you was at a table and wanting advice. To the left was the person we speak of and to the right is Darren.
The person on the left would tell you anything that suits him. Darren would actually give you advice and set you on a road and be there for ya if ya needed anymore advice.
Now that just shows exactly the difference of these two people.
Plus this person has had loads difference "minions" on his channel and I can't stand alot them. So if I seen 1000 videos with them in it I still would never subscribe to them.
I seen a few with Darren and I subscribed to him cos I liked him. So Darren pretty much helped himself getting where he is.
Now let's all move on and support Darren and his channel. Your the better man
Top man, you are a gentleman sir
Sorry to hear that you have fallen out,you are a good man Darren and it's his loss
Well done for putting it out there DJ...if he continues with his rotten behaviour and tricks then he's rolled the dice..as the Thai people say: up to him..
He's a clown or as my old boss would say, a Fruit Bat
You take care of yourself and hope we can have a meet up when you're in Thailand.
Plenty of YT vids about Thailand but would recommend Bangkok Pat, Buzz in Pattaya ( Trevor Knight) and Ndtvi ...all been here years and give good advice..
