The Inbetweeners star James Buckley says he has made over £1m from the Cameo website and claims to have made more than 40,000 personalised videos for fans.

In a recent podcast interview with Spender Matthews, Buckley detailed the enormous amount of videos he has made for fans: "I have done tens of thousands. Tens and tens of thousands, maybe thirty, forty thousand, something like that."

Matthews responds: "You're a Cameo-millionaire", which Buckley affirms with a nod.

He also admitted it was a great thing for him financially and why he only charges £40 per video: "It was a godsend financially. But I never wanted to take the p***. I'm in the business of making people happy. I don't want to rip people off."
