Viral TikTok star Gymskin spotted at Oxfordshire deli
Staff at Delice, a popular deli and coffee spot in Witney, shared a photo of the visit on Facebook, hailing their “special visitor in Witney today” alongside a picture of the creator inside the shop.
Gymskin, whose real name Jack Smith, is a 32‑year‑old content creator from Essex who has rapidly become one of Britain’s most talked‑about online personalities.
This is thanks to his off‑the‑cuff humour, stream‑of‑consciousness rants and trademark “waheyyy” catchphrase.

He first built a following with gym clips and social experiments before exploding on TikTok, Instagram and live‑streaming platform Kick.
Commentators have dubbed him “the most viral man in Britain”, noting his unusually positive message and willingness to laugh at himself in an online landscape often driven by drama and controversy.
Gymskin’s latest wave of fame has been driven in large part by his viral “follow that tune” moment.
In the original clip, filmed on one of his IRL livestreams, he is walking down a street at night when he hears music in the distance and suddenly tells his cameraman to “follow that tune”, before breaking into a short, shoulder‑dropping dance as he heads towards the sound.

Fans clipped the phrase and dance, turning it into a TikTok and Reels trend where people use the audio to show off the songs that get them hyped or to recreate his walk and moves.
The track playing in the background is Madonna’s 1985 hit Into The Groove, which has since surged back into the UK charts off the back of the meme.
His stop in Witney came during a whirlwind few weeks that most recently saw him at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Sunday.
Gymskin watched on as Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-1 in a top-of-the-table Premier League clash.
