AN INTERNET star has retracted a big donation he was planning on making to charity.
YouTuber PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, had uploaded a video on Wednesday announcing he would donate $50,000 (£40,000) to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
In a follow-up video, posted on Thursday, Felix, who lives in Brighton, said he would not be making the donation... blaming ill advisement.
He said: “I made the mistake of picking the charity I was advised to, instead of picking a charity I’m personally passionate about which is 100 per cent my fault.”
