From next week, Rob can also be seen in 'The Expedition: Greenland', where he undertakes a 164km trek in the bitter cold. Being involved with Play4 also means a big break on TV, although Rob prefers to keep his focus on his YouTube channel: “YouTube remains my focus and priority. I definitely still want to do stuff for TV every now and then, but I find that “It's more fun to have everything in my hands. I've also had a lot of TV offers, but I prefer the freedom of YouTube.”

Despite his successful YouTube career, Rob is not getting richer, which is why he also sells all kinds of merchandise: “I don't earn anything from these YouTube videos. It all costs money. That's why I sell t-shirts, jackets, hats and socks through a store “My web. Look, I'm an artist par excellence; my goal has always been to make people laugh and make that my job. I want to be able to make a living from my job, my goal is not to get rich.”

Rob will be seen from Monday in 'The Expedition: Greenland', at 9.15pm on Play4 and GoPlay.
