Who is TikTok influencer and podcaster Madeline Argy?
Madeline is a West Sussex-raised creator, who was born on July 7 2000.
In 2018, she attended the University of Kent, studying Forensic Linguistics, a degree she settled on after feeling inspired by an episode of Criminal Minds, Madeline told The Face.

During the final year of her degree in 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic put the world on hold, Madeline started making TikToks.
And since then, the 25-year-old has become an internet sensation, breaking through the social media algorithm and amassing an army of fans who watch her humorous videos and lifestyle content.
Since her rise to social media stardom, she has spent much of her time transatlantic between LA and her home in Sussex.
How many followers does Madeline Argy have?
In July 2022, the British creator posted a simple video discussing the time her sister found a worm trapped in her leg, and from there, she went viral.
Since posting the video, it has received over five and a half million likes and is the foundation of her career today.
She now has over 9.6million followers on TikTok and over 3.3million on Instagram, which is a rapid rise from 2023, when she had more than 1.8million on Instagram and only 4million on TikTok.

It is Madeline’s low-key, intimate and relatable stories that has allowed her to garner such a following.
In her low-production videos, Madeline is a friend to her followers as she sits in her car with no makeup and wearing spot stickers, telling them about her life.
She opened up about her content with Elite Daily in 2023, saying she has few regrets about the intimate anecdotes she’s shared.
She said: “Maybe I regret sharing some of the TMI stuff, but nothing I’ve ever done in my personal life has made me a bad person.
“Some of it’s embarrassing and overly personal, but none of it was ever wrong. So what’s the worst that can happen?”
But it was this style of openness which helped Madeline land her own podcast in 2023.
In 2023, she began hosting Pretty Lonesome with Madeline Argy, which was in connection with Alex Cooper‘s Unwell Network.
It touches on topics such as anxiety, imposter syndrome, sexuality and mental health.
Is she single?
Madeline also received a mountain of media attention due to her on-again, off-again relationship with rapper Central Cee.

The pair began in 2022, and kept the details of their relationship private for the two years they were together.
In September 2024, Madeline shared more about their relationship after they had broken up on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast.
She described to Alex that the relationship had become toxic.

She said: “It was a lot of back and forth and like, kind of in a fun, toxic way when you’re like, oh God, this needs to end, but f— it, let’s go on one more trip together or let’s have one more night.”
