TikTok star Charli D'Amelio first to hit 100m followers

Charli D'Amelio, from Norwalk, Connecticut, hit the milestone after a year and a half on the app.

It comes days after a controversy over her behaviour in a YouTube video.

In the first episode of her family's reality series, Dinner with the D'Amelios, fans claimed the star acted disrespectfully toward the personal chef who prepared them dinner.

More than 600,000 fans swiftly unfollowed her in protest.

However, controversy died down after D'Amelio shared a video in which she apologised for her actions, and promised to do better.
