Oldham's Vegan Queens are a YouTube sensation

Married Limeside duo Paul Burgess and Jason Bromley now gained more than 1,000 subscribers this year alone as Those Vegan Guys.

Their online presence is augmented by Paul as Rita Ridiculous and drag act partner Stuart Crowther as Mavis Malarky aka The Vegan Queens.

Paul, aged 50, suffered post traumaic stress after being viciously attacked during the robbery at Brookdale Golf Club in Woodhouses in Failsworth. The gang struck as Paul was waiting to be picked up by husband Jason.

The couple were then marched to the club's safe and ordered to hand over the cash.

One of the gang was later locked up for 13 years six months for his part in the attack.

However, in 2018 they started to create more content for their channel and 2019 has seen them enjoy "fantastic growth" on the channel, which promotes "down to earth veganism".

Paul said: "I am part of The Vegan Queens, a drag duo with Stuart Crowther from Rochdale, we thought it might be fun to bring 'the girls' into the channel, so they now have their own cooking series on the channel which people have really loved.

"Our style of promoting vegan food with easy recipes and easily accessible taste tests has seemingly helped many people to start their own journey.

"We feel that we are helping to put the vegan northwest on the map, and helping to highlight venues, shops, businesses and eateries that cater well to vegans.

"We've got to the point with our channel now that we are being sent things to taste test and even being invited out to eat and review vegan menus all over Greater Manchester.

"We have very varied content on the channel, from really easy recipes to make at home, some 15 minute meals for a family of 4 that cost less than a fiver, drag cooking shows, debates and discussion and I personally have even started some walking vlogs which I broadcast LIVE from my phone and show our subscribers places like Dasiy Nook or the town centre."
