Harold "Harry" Christopher George Lewis (born November 24, 1996), better known as W2S (shortened from Wroetoshaw), is a British YouTuber, streamer, and influencer from Guernsey. He is a member of the British YouTube group Sidemen. He is the co-owner of XIX Vodka, Sidemen Clothing, restaurant chain Sides, and cereal brand Best Breakfasts. In 2016, Lewis was listed as one of the nineteen biggest British YouTuber stars by Business Insider.

Early life

Born in Guernsey, Lewis was raised in Alderney until his family moved back to Guernsey in 2004. He attended Guernsey Grammar School. He has two younger siblings, named Rosie and Josh.

YouTube career

Lewis initially had several YouTube channels, on which he would experiment with various ideas before setting up his main YouTube channel "Wroetoshaw", in 2012, and uploading primarily FIFA and football content. His name comes from a contraction of players Nicky Wroe and Tom Bradshaw. Lewis was the last member to join the British collective, Sidemen, in 2014, after being approached by Zerkaa at a FIFA gaming event in New York City earlier that year. Lewis was described as "a superstar before the Sidemen" and that he was falling in with the wrong crowds within YouTube and the Sidemen decided to take him under their wing. As of 2025, Lewis' main channel, 'W2S', has over 16 million subscribers. Lewis hasn't published any videos on his main channel since 2020, instead publishing on 'W2S+'.

In 2017, Lewis received a YouTube Diamond Play Button for surpassing 10 million subscribers on the platform.

In 2018, Lewis set a Guinness World Record for having the most subscribers and views for a dedicated FIFA channel.

After managing to keep his hand on a $2.5 million private jet longer than 11 other influencers in a MrBeast video in 2022, Lewis won the jet, gifting it to his siblings.

Music
