Harry was born in Guernsey, but grew up in Alderney - one of the Channel Islands - until 2004 when his family moved back to Guernsey. He has a younger brother, Josh, and a younger sister, Rosie. They all attended Guernsey Grammar School. The Sidemen often used the Guernsey stereotype as a joke against Harry, regularly referring to him as "inbred" and having an incestuous relationship with his family.

Harry is one of three Sidemen members who never lived in the Sidemen House (or the former house). Until 2014, he lived at his family home in Guernsey. He then moved to London in September 2014 - at the age of 17 - to an apartment in the Stratford Halo tower which he shared with Callux and Calfreezy. The three of them moved out of the tower sometime in 2018 and into their own house overlooking the River Thames. In mid-2020, after Callux moved into a new house by himself, Harry and Calfreezy moved into a smaller, new apartment. In March 2015, Harry bought a flat in Guernsey in addition to his London accommodation, which he used to self-isolate in during the Covid-19 pandemic.

In 2017, Harry bought a dog named Herb who originally lived with him, Calfreezy and Callux in their Stratford Halo Tower apartment, but now lives in Guernsey with Harry's parents.

He was in a long term relationship with Katie Leach between 2014 and 2020. He visited the German Pascha (the largest brothel in the world) in 2015 and paid for multiple experiences. He claims that this was before he was in a relationship.

Youtube Career

edit

Harry initially set up numerous YouTube channels on which he'd experiment with different ideas (i.e. he had separate channels for vlogging and playing instruments). When he was 13 or 14, he did a fake iPad giveaway to get subscribers, but later admitted the iPad was the property of his brothers.

Eventually, he set up his main channel "wroetoshaw". He created this name from FIFA and it is a combination of the players Nicky Wroe and Tom Bradshaw. At the age of 17, he dropped out of school and decided to do YouTube as his full-time job. Harry was the last to join the Sidemen, becoming a member around the same time he dropped out of school in early-2014 (a few months after their formation).

An image of Harry's scrotum was leaked onto the internet (alongside the caption "IT'S BATHTIME BOYS!") during a Twitter hack in April 2015. He has since made a joke out of this and has titled one of his vlogs as such.

In August 2015, Harry personally sent £50 to all of his Twitter followers on GCSE results day who tweeted him proving that they gained straight A*-A's. There were at least 16 in total - meaning he sent a minimum of £800.

Harry hit ten million subscribers on his main channel in April 2017 and received his "Diamond Play Button" from YouTube shortly afterwards.
