Anyone with internet access is bound to remember the hilarious viral video, 'Charlie Bit Me'.

In it, a small boy named Harry Davies-Carr is seen happily sitting with his baby brother Charlie on his lap - until Charlie painfully makes a snap for one of his older sibling's digits.

Now the pair, from Buckinghamshire, who are now aged 11 and nine, have given an interview to children's TV programme Newsround, to talk about the video that changed their lives.

The YouTube pioneers told CBBC reporter Ricky Boleto that the video was originally filmed for the family to send to the brothers' godfather who lives in America.

However, it quickly went viral, becoming an early online hit when it was uploaded eight years ago, going on to amass more than 816million views on YouTube.

Harry told the children's TV show that he now finds watching the video funny, saying: 'It makes me laugh.'

Charlie said he didn't find it embarrassing but said: 'I think it's a bit odd that loads of people have watched it.

Their father Howard, had only ever uploaded the video because it was too big to send over email.

What do stars of YouTube hit Charlie Bit My Finger look like now?

The show also reveals that the boys' video has had more views than Taylor Swift, One Direction and even Adele.

Their parents have since made thousands of pounds from advertising and sponsorship deals off the back of the clip.

Howard said at the time: 'The clip only went up as I wanted to share it with the boys' godfather. I was naive about the whole YouTube thing.

'It became viral and once that happened there was nothing I could do. People have sent lovely comments and messages and I now upload a new video of the boys every six weeks.'
