Bryony Matthewman has been crowned queen of video website YouTube

This is the girl who has been crowned queen of video website YouTube.

Bryony Matthewman has built a huge international fan club for her one-woman comedy sketches.

The 24-year-old, who uses the internet pseudonym Paperlilies, films herself in her bedroom at her parents' Enfield home.

She impersonates singer Amy Winehouse, portrays a brainless teenage American beauty queen and takes on the persona of a stereotypical "chav" called Shazza.

In a recent addition to her repertoire, she plays Britney Spears giving childcare tips to her pregnant 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn.

So far she has been watched by more than two million people and today she topped a poll commissioned by YouTube to find its 10 mostwatched Londoners.

Bryony, a graphic designer, insisted that it was all just "a bit of a laugh".

She said: "I'm freelance at the moment so I have quite a lot of time on my hands to make the videos. When I first looked at the site it was full of Americans and I decided it would be good to have an English presence.

"I started by answering questions that people from around the world had about Britain. Then I started doing my own comedy sketches and they really caught on.

"It's great that so many people enjoy them but it's all just a bit of a laugh to me."

The number of people using YouTube in Britain has doubled since it launched a dedicated UK portal in June.

Broadcasting directly from their front rooms, back gardens and even bathrooms, some users are attracting more viewers than tune into prime-time TV shows.

About 10.8 million people in the UK use YouTube a month - a fifth of the population - according to analysts Nielsen NetRatings.

They found that Britons view more than 850 million YouTube pages a month, more than double the volume of a year ago.

Worldwide, more than eight hours of video are uploaded every minute, according to YouTube figures.
