LITTLE did anyone know that when YouTube sensation Joe Sugg was spotted on his ferry travels to the Isle of Wight, he was on a special mission — putting his voice to great use.

The 33-year-old YouTuber and actor — a regular visitor to the Isle of Wight — currently has 3.3 million subscribers to his ThatcherJoeVlogs channel, and was a finalist on the 16th series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2019.

Yesterday (Friday, October 25), Joe was spotted with popular TV gardener and Cowes resident, Alan Titchmarsh, waiting at Portsmouth's Wightlink ferry terminal.

Joe popped over to Blackgang Chine yesterday to lend his voice to a quirky feature in the park — the Talking Pirate Bin.

The celebrity became the new pirate voice of the recently restored waste bin — encouraging visitors to dispose of their litter into its mouth, on the site of the Jolly Robin.

On Twitter X, Joe said: "Arrrrr. It be me, Joe Sugg, the new talking bin. I've had the best day. Now I'm a talking bin.

"It was not on my bingo card for this year, but the magic's happened.

"Make sure you give him all your rubbish."
