“ Right, so... ”
— WillNE's intro

William Jonathan Lenney (born March 11, 1996 (1996-03-11) [age 29]), known online as WillNE, is a British YouTuber commonly linked with Stephen Tries, James Marriott and Memeulous. Since 2017, he has been associated with the Sidemen.

About

Will was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. He was raised in Whitley Bay with his parents and has a pet dog named Darcey. It is a recurring joke on his channel that he has a square head, which leads to him often being compared to the Minecraft character Steve.

YouTube

WillNE started his YouTube channel in 2012, and is well known for his commentary/reaction videos. He rose to fame by making videos on BGMedia that went viral. Will also has a second channel called S2W where he predominantly makes Reddit and gaming videos.

WillNE often collaborated with Memeulous, ImAlexx and James Marriott as they all lived close to each other. He also made videos with his close friend Stephen Tries, with whom he went on tour with in 2018 with their show "This Week On The Internet Live" based on Will's popular video series of the same name on his channel (often abbreviated to TWOTI).

Will's connection with the Sidemen began when he was asked to participate in the 2017 Charity Football Match. He was invited back the following year, in which his famous tackle on RiceGum happened and has since featured in some videos uploaded on the Sidemen channel, and MoreSidemen channel.

He was also a part of the channel XO, with other YouTubers True Geordie, Stephen Tries, Laurence McKenna and, in later videos, Max Smith and Cam Kirkham. The channel featured skits, sports news, podcasts and general comedy for over a year but has been inactive since June 2019.

In December 2018, Will was in a "subscriber battle" with Jill Hudson, the mother of Morgz (known online as Morgz Mum). At first, it was a casual mention by Will saying she was closing in on him in their subscriber count, but she mocked him after she overtook his channel. As of July 2020, Will has more subscribers than Morgz Mum.

As of 2020, Will was part of a group with Memeulous, ImAlexx and James Marriott called the Eboys.
