Social media prankster Ben Phillips to get his own book

We’ve already had the rise of Vloggers writing books, and now the world of publishing is taking to books from the Facebook famous. Ben Phillips, known for his cruel, but oh-so funny pranks on his brother, Elliot, is getting a book of his own.

It’s been described as a  “rollercoaster ride into the dangerous mind of Ben and the empty mind of Elliot”, including Ben’s amazing story from “from zero followers to five million”, and will be available November this year.

Philips said, “If the world ended tomorrow and you had to go into a bunker with no internet, this book is all you would need.”

Big statement – we’re looking forward to November already.
