Scouse TikTok star says fans quote his catchphrases 'like the bible'

Not many people know what it feels like to have their own catchphrase shouted at them when they walk the streets of Liverpool, however, TikTok sensation James Foley does.

The 23-year-old, like the rest of us, first started using the social media app during lockdown as a way of passing time. But, unlike the rest of us, James’ following and like count started to rise at an unexpected pace.

After a video of James bad mouthing a phone repair shop in the city centre took the internet by storm, it wasn’t long before he went viral again and had the entire country shouting his life mantra, “The best part of being in a relationship is the spooning, can’t get enough of it.” Now, any true fan would know when addressed with the catchphrase, the only correct way to respond is by saying “spooning leads to forking.” This is just one of the many phrases synonymous with the former Parklands High School student and his distinctive Scouse accent.
