During the final year of her degree in 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic put the world on hold, Madeline started making TikToks.
And since then, the 25-year-old has become an internet sensation, breaking through the social media algorithm and amassing an army of fans who watch her humorous videos and lifestyle content.
Since her rise to social media stardom, she has spent much of her time transatlantic between LA and her home in Sussex.
How many followers does Madeline Argy have?
In July 2022, the British creator posted a simple video discussing the time her sister found a worm trapped in her leg, and from there, she went viral.
Since posting the video, it has received over five and a half million likes and is the foundation of her career today.
She now has over 9.6million followers on TikTok and over 3.3million on Instagram, which is a rapid rise from 2023, when she had more than 1.8million on Instagram and only 4million on TikTok.

It is Madeline's low-key, intimate and relatable stories that has allowed her to garner such a following.
In her low-production videos, Madeline is a friend to her followers as she sits in her car with no makeup and wearing spot stickers, telling them about her life.
She opened up about her content with Elite Daily in 2023, saying she has few regrets about the intimate anecdotes she's shared.
She said: 'Maybe I regret sharing some of the TMI stuff, but nothing I've ever done in my personal life has made me a bad person.
"Some of it's embarrassing and overly personal, but none of it was ever wrong. So what's the worst that can happen?'
But it was this style of openness which helped Madeline land her own podcast in 2023.
In 2023, she began hosting Pretty Lonesome with Madeline Argy, which was in connection with Alex Cooper's Unwell Network.
It touches on topics such as anxiety, imposter syndrome, sexuality and mental health.
Is she single?
Madeline also received a mountain of media attention due to her on-again, off-again relationship with rapper Central Cee.

The pair began in 2022, and kept the details of their relationship private for the two years they were together.
In September 2024, Madeline shared more about their relationship after they had broken up on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast.
She described to Alex that the relationship had become toxic.

She said: 'It was a lot of back and forth and like, kind of in a fun, toxic way when you're like, oh God, this needs to end, but f--- it, let's go on one more trip together or let's have one more night.'

Tesco wows F&F shoppers with 3-in-1 ottoman stool that swivels and 'fits loads'
A buyer showed off the £35 item on social media in a video that has now gone viral Tesco F&F shoppers love a 'cute' ottoman stool that rotates into a chair and 'fits so much' — and one fan thinks it resembles a pricier alternative. The retailer's 3-in-1 ottoman stool impressed customers when TikTok user @ shared a video showcasing the home decor, and it racked up over 900,000 views. In the video, the Tesco shopper demonstrated how the stool has multiple uses. It can also be used as a chair or a storage box, suitable for keeping soft furnishings such as blankets and cushions neatly tucked away out of sight but still within reach. Her caption said: "The cutest 3 in 1 stool from F&F home," and fans were just as impressed by the design, which eagle-eyed shoppers might recognise. When one shopper asked if the stools were new, Jess claimed: "They had a few last year, but this year there's more stock and a new colour." Another fan shared: "I looked everywhere for this in November but couldn't find it anywhere I was gutted managed to find one similar just without the back bit from Asda to use as a seat in my dressing room and it looks gorgeous luckily I haven't spilt any makeup on it yet too which is good as its cream." Replying to Jess, someone else revealed: "I got this one in white last year round about this time fits so much!" Jess agreed: "It does! I put a duvet in there after as well." Elsewhere, an impressed buyer said: "I got this the other day and snap we use ours for our little blankets." Praising the style, a different viewer commented: "Love it! Do they do different colours?" Jess answered: "They have brown and cream." A keen shopper wrote: "Omg hope they have more colours I'm off to look rn!! I love it as a chair." Another fan said: "Love this!! Love the colour." More praise read: "Oh my god I actually need this." Meanwhile, a viewer commented: "STOP! I'm obsessed." A similar response said: "I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE." A fan added: "I've seen a cream one from Dunelm, it costs £65," and Jess replied: "This was £35 so not too bad." The fan responded: "That's an amazing price! thanks for sharing." While it's unclear which product the social media user was referencing, Dunelm's £65 Sherpa Storage Footstool Chair could be a likely contender. According to the description, the 3-in-1 footstool has soft upholstery, a flipable back rest, and is suitable for compact living. Dunelm states: "A smart 3-in-1 design that adapts to your needs, this piece functions as a footstool, a chair, and a storage unit, all in one compact form. The flip-back rest allows it to fit neatly into small spaces, transforming easily into a supportive seat when needed. Upholstered in soft sherpa fabric, it brings both comfort and on-trend style to any room."

'Surprisingly poor' John Cleese, 85, is set to buy a house in Bath with his fourth wife - after giving her his £1.5m Chelsea flat
Monty Python star John Cleese, is hoping to buy a home in Bath, close to where he grew up. Cleese, 85, who insists he's 'surprisingly poor', has lived in Monaco in the past, and more recently in Nevis in the Caribbean, where there's no income tax. He said in April he'd gifted his £1.5million flat in Chelsea to fourth wife, Jennifer Wade, 'to make her feel secure'. The pair are understood to spend most of their time in London. However, it seems they're house hunting in the West Country. Speaking at Clifton College, the £19,000-a-term Bristol private school he attended as a boy, Cleese said: 'Unquestionably, my home is the West Country. My wife and I are thinking very seriously of buying in Bath.' He added: 'When I look back at my time in Weston-super-Mare ... There were a lot of very nice people having peaceful, friendly lives and being nice to each other and behaving really pretty well. And how little of that there is around these days. 'It's an idea which has come from America, which is that if you are not either rich or powerful – or both – then somehow your life has been a failure. I think that is a terrible idea.' Cleese bought a flat in Bath's Royal Crescent in 2016, but it was back on the market in 2018, when he left the UK and settled in Nevis. He's been complaining of penury since his 2008 divorce from third wife, Alyce Faye Eichelberger. She reportedly got a settlement of $20million and Cleese said two years ago he was still paying it off. The Fawlty Towers star confessed his ongoing frustration at this when he appeared on Lorraine earlier this year to discuss the stage version of the iconic sitcom. Stand-in host of the ITV chat show Kate Garraway, 57, brought up when she saw John, who played Basil Fawlty, during his Alimony stand-up tour in 2011. She recalled his first comment onstage: 'I'm doing this for the money, to pay for the exes.' Cleese replied, of his ex-wife Eichelberger: 'I had to give her $20million [£15.5million], the thing is, a bit of advice for people... 'If you're going to have an expensive divorce, have it when you're 40, not when you're 70!' An awkward Garraway replied: 'Right, then you have to keep working at a time where you'd, perhaps, rather be relaxing.' Cleese confessed: 'Well, you're just doing nothing, which is my favourite way of passing the time.' The actor has tied the knot a number of times over the years. He was married to Eichelberger between 1992 and 2008, and Barbara Trentham between 1981 and 1990. His first marriage was to his Fawlty Towers co-star Connie Booth in 1968 and lasted a decade. Back in 2023, Cleese claimed he was still paying his settlement to Eichelberger - and he has previously said the deal left him worse off than her. In the opening moments of his one-man show in Singapore, John told the 1,200-strong audience he had been 'forced' to take to the stage. He said: 'I know what you're thinking: What is an elderly English comedian doing here in Singapore when he should be back in his old oxygen tent in London, resting? 'Well, I'll tell you the reason. I'll show it to you.' Projecting a picture of his ex-wife on a giant screen, he went on: 'This is my ex-wife on her regular morning stroll, going to collect her alimony. 'Do you know I had to pay her $20million? Can you believe that? Twenty! No children. Twenty million. 'The awful thing about that is that you give them ten, then you've still got another ten to go. 'Look at it like this. If only she'd been satisfied with a mere $15million, I'd be going to bed in half an hour. 'Instead, I am forced to go on being a huge international megastar, a comedy icon, a national institution, a living legend.' But Cleese's Monty Python co-star, the comedian Eric Idle, 82, said last month he thinks all his former castmates should be more 'grateful' for the money they continue to receive from their work as a comedy troupe. Idle wrote the musical stage show Spamalot based on the 1975 Monty Python film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. All the original Monty Python members, including Terry Gilliam, 84, and Michael Palin, 82, alongside Cleese and Idle, continue to receive money from the production. Idle's words came after he revealed in February there was a rift in the troupe and confessed the show was a financial 'disaster'. He told The Guardian: 'They got more f***ing money than they've ever been grateful for. They got f****** millions and they''re miserable and horrible and b****y about it.' The comedian continued: 'I spent 20 years working for Python and then two years on the O2 show. They were there for two weeks. 'I'm not really motivated by money, to be honest. Anyway, the producers get all the f***ing money and divide it up according to the contract. 'Someone sued us for years, saying I was paying the Pythons money from my back pocket. 'And I said, "Why would I risk going to an American jail to give John Cleese more money?"' Idle added the group would often 'fight and argue' when working together but he thinks it was good for their output. 'Some things in Python were very enjoyable and some were not,' he shared. 'Holy Grail was cold and miserable. Sometimes that makes it funny. One of the worst things you can have in comedy is enough money.' 'Python was quite a lot of arguing and fights and good work is often like that. The best thing about showbiz is when it's over. 'I think if you're enjoying yourself, then you're not acting or giving, you're just having a good time. Well, that's not funny.' , which aired from 1969 to 1974.
