The estranged wife of YouTube star Spanian has announced she is planning to launch her own channel based around food.
Angela McColl, 37, who was married to the eshay influencer (real name Anthony Lees) for two years, confirmed the news in a video shared to her Instagram stories on Wednesday.
'A lot of people have messaged me because of what they have seen yesterday of my photo that I reposted with a GoPro in it,' Ms McColl said.
'Yes, I'm starting my own YouTube channel, I'm going to be doing stuff related around food.'
Her decision to start a food channel, three months on from her split with Spanian, means she will be in competition with her ex's food reviews, 'It's All Eats'.
Ms McColl said she'd filmed her first review while visiting the Sydney Fish Market on Tuesday and planned to let her fans know once it'd been published.
'I'm just going to shoot my shot. I'm actually really funny, that sounds cocky saying that, but I'm kinda funny,' she said, laughing while looking at someone to the side of the camera.
'And you guys will see... my personality in the videos,' she said.
