LadBaby’s Roxanne Hoyle has opened up on the ‘deepest, darkest moments’ she and husband Mark endured before they shot to fame, including living on just £20 a week.
Roxanne, 41, and Mark, 38, celebrate 10 years of marriage this year after a decade which saw them go from a normal happy couple to some of the most successful social media stars in the country.
It all started with Mark making parody songs on his new YouTube channel around 2016, and within just two years the duo had managed to bag the top spot on the UK Singles Chart with We Built This City (On Sausage Rolls).
The comedians come musicians amazingly secured number ones in each of the proceeding five years with playful remixes of famous songs – including I Love Sausage Rolls in 2019 and Don’t Stop Me Eating in 2021.
After years of success, the couple now boast more than a million followers each on Instagram and over a million subscribers on YouTube.

LadBaby – consisting of Roxanne, 41, and Mark Hoyle, 38 – have admitted they used to live on £20 a week as they opened up about ‘tough’ past before bagging FIVE number one singles
In the almost 10 years since Mark started their YouTube channel, LadBaby have amazingly bagged five numbers ones on the UK Singles Chart
Their first number one came with We Built This City (On Sausage Rolls) in 2018 and their most recent with Food Aid in 2022
But it certainly wasn’t all plain sailing for the two members of LadBaby before all their success.
In a new interview with New Magazine, Roxanne – better known as LadBaby mum – revealed she and Mark used to live on £20 a week when they first moved in together.
‘Well, we met over cocktails in London and fell in love – cheesy but true,’ she said.
‘When we got pregnant with our first, Mark worked a couple of jobs and I stayed home. We literally had £20 a week to live on – it was joyful, but it was so hard.
‘That’s why we’ll never forget where we came from. That’s why we give back, support food banks and do what we do now.’
Mark and Roxanne share two sons together – nine-year-old Phoenix and seven-year-old Kobe who have lived through their success.
But – as many a celebrity has – LadBaby have struggled with their fair share of online trolls.
Roxanne told new! Magazine that even when ‘trying to do something nice like a charity song with Ed Sheeran and Elton John’, she and her husband have been trolled.

The 41-year-old previously revealed that LadBaby first received backlash after unfounded allegations were spread online that they were pocketing money they raised for the Trussell Trust.
They received thousands of abusive messages online along with threats in public with Mr Hoyle being confronted in a pub and having to be escorted to safety by bouncers.
And after Mark refused to tell The Guardian the couple’s political preference in a 2019 interview, they were attacked for being ‘Tories’.
The abuse became so severe that Mark started to suffer from panic attacks.
The police took the case seriously and anti-terror officers were assigned to advise the couple at their home.
‘I don’t think people realise the impact of that level of trolling, where the police came to support us through that time,’ Roxanne said.
Most severely, in 2022 the couple were rocked by a video circulating on social media allegedly showing Mark hugging and rubbing up against an unknown woman in a Nottingham nightclub.
An 18-second video of the incident had been sent to Mark and Roxanne along with a demand for £10,000 to prevent it from being released.

In their new memoir – Our LadBaby Journey: Success, Sacrifice and Sausage Rolls – the couple opened up about the reality of getting through the situation
The couple ignored the message hoping the blackmail was just a hoax, but months later the clip was widely shared online.
There is no suggestion the touching in the video is non-consensual and the clip was later deleted from TikTok for violating its content terms.
In their new memoir – Our LadBaby Journey: Success, Sacrifice and Sausage Rolls – the couple opened up about the reality of getting through the situation.
Ahead of the book’s release, Mark told The Guardian: ‘We were lucky we had each other – that’s what we’ve always said about LadBaby, the good and the bad.’
And as the couple celebrate a decade of marriage, Roxanne said they’re still ‘best mates’ having ‘been through so much and come out stronger’.
