YouTuber gets kicked out of Glasgow's 'worst-rated' takeaway
Konstantin — known as Kon — boasts nearly 1.4 million subscribers on YouTube and has previously collaborated with stars such as KSI and the Sidemen.
Earlier this month, the social media influencer posted a video titled I Tried Glasgow's WORST RATED Takeaways, which has already racked up nearly 70,000 views.

In the video, Kon and a friend set out to visit some of Glasgow's most poorly reviewed takeaways, aiming to try the dishes that received the most criticism online.
The duo's food tour included well-known city-centre favourites like Blue Lagoon and Chunky Chicken.
At Blue Lagoon's Central Station branch, they sampled chips and a new sausage éclair, which they described as 'mid.'
The famous Scottish delicacy, the deep-fried Mars Bar also failed to impress.
However, most of their complaints revolved around pricing, rather than quality. Kon even admitted he was surprised the food wasn't nearly as bad as the negative reviews had suggested.

He said: 'I thought there'd be more foods that were gross or disappointing, but everything's just been bang average."
Later, they tried a poorly-rated Chinese takeaway while sitting at a Govan bus stop, only to find themselves pleasantly surprised by the quality.
But things took a dramatic turn at the final stop: the now-infamous Best Kebab in Glasgow's city centre.
When they first arrived around 4pm, the shop appeared to be closed. Upon returning later that evening, they were met with hostility
According to Kon, the owner stared them down, and an altercation ensued.
The YouTubers quickly left the scene, awarding the takeaway a harsh zero stars, not because of the food, but because they weren't able to order any.
Kon said in the video: 'Well, we couldn't actually review it because boss man told us to p**s off.
'He was like 'f**k you.' So off we go. Best Kebab gets a zero out of five.'
Despite the rough encounter, the pair gave a shout-out to the locals, who they said seemed passionate about protecting their neighbourhood.
Kon added: 'I'll tell you what, though, shout out to the locals there — they're trying to protect their community.
"I had one guy punch me in the shoulder!'
