HSTikkyTokky's dad is England international as Louis Theroux documentary goes viral
The father of controversial social media personality HSTikkyTokky is a former England international sportsman.
HSTikkyTokky, real name Harrison Sullivan, has amassed over 450,000 followers combined on social media platforms TikTok and Instagram.
He also live streams on the heavily-criticised streaming platform Kick, where he has nearly 250,000 followers.
In November, the 24-year-old received a suspended 12-month prison sentence, was disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to undertake 300 hours of unpaid work after pleading guilty to dangerous driving and driving without insurance.

Sullivan was recently interviewed by TV presenter Louis Theroux for Theroux's latest documentary, 'Inside the Manosphere'.
The sypnosis for the documentary, which is available to watch on Netflix, says that Theroux 'investigates a growing ultra-masculine network and its controversial influencers'.
Sullivan's appearance on the documentary did indeed create significant controversy.
Another video posted online by the social media personality - after he announced he would be interviewed by Theroux - was broadcast on the documentary, in which Sullivan tells Theroux directly: "If you wanna call me a pimp, scammer, racist, homophobic d***head - I'm all of those, Theroux. What are you going to do about it?"
After the documentary aired, HSTikkyTokky reposted a tweet which claimed he had been 'exposed ... as a walking contradiction'.
In a subsequent video posted to Twitter, he said he was 'rattling the whole UK', adding: "I'm loving it."
Sullivan's father, meanwhile, is the former England rugby union prop Victor Ubogu.
Now 61, Ubogu made 24 appearances for England between 1992 and 1999, and won the 1998 Heineken Cup final - a tournament comprising of teams from France, England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy and Wales - with Bath.
Since retirement, he founded and runs VU Ltd Sports, a travel, hospitality and events business.
Theroux says in the documentary that Sullivan had told him 'his mother, Elaine, had worked six-day weeks, late into the evening, to put him through private school'.
His father, meanwhile, 'was not in the picture', with Sullivan recently posting a video online which showed him meeting him for the first time in 10 years.
"I don't agree with what he did, don't get it twisted," he told Theroux in the documentary.
"But no hard feelings. If there is any trauma there, what I will say is, it's subconscious. It's not something I'm aware of. Definitely."
His mother Elaine said: "He's got nothing to do with Harrison. He was involved... look, I spoke to him for a while, but he didn't come into Harrison's life until it was the last year of junior school."
