An influencer who revealed she owned her own house at the age of 21 was left in floods of tears after receiving a huge backlash online.

Katylee Bailey, from Bradford, recently took to TikTok to reveal she was the lucky owner of her house - and mortgage free too.

In the TikTok, which has been viewed 3.5 million times, Katylee held a champagne bottle with confetti inside.

Captioning the clip, she wrote: "Biggest achievement of my life. Here's to my new chapter."

Her celebratory revelation didn't go down well with viewers, who slammed her in the comments.

One person wrote: "So sad the people that work the least get this and people putting their life on the line can barely afford heating."

A second added: "Alright for some."

Meanwhile, a third commented: "Lucky you, here I am paying 2 grand in rent every month because I am not eligible for a mortgage despite working 40 hours a week."

Katylee explained herself to her critics in a teary video.

Although these negative comments came from a minority, as most were happy for Katylee, the stinging remarks still hurt the influencer's feelings.

In a follow up video, the teary-eyed TikToker said: "I just wanted to come on here to say that I'm sorry to anyone who feels like I'm bragging about the house thing.

"Yes, the system is absolutely f***ed, I will never get my head around the fact that I've become so lucky.

"But believe or not, as much as some of you guys don't wanna understand this, I do actually work and let me tell you something, social media is so mentally draining."

Katylee celebrated purchasing her house at the age of 21.

She continued: "I know there are many people out there who work there a***s off. I genuinely did just fall lucky with social media.

"And yes my family have given me an amazing life. But I didn't get brought up with money, so to be able to achieve such a big thing at 21-years-old, I'm just so grateful.

"It's not me bragging, it's me being so proud of myself. I think if anyone else had the opportunity, they'd do it."

In 2021, The Telegraph and Argus reported that Katylee earns up to £1,000 for each video she posts, after dropping out of university to pursue a career in social media full-time.

Being 21, Katylee is much younger than the average first time buyer in the UK which is reportedly around 33 years old, up from 32 in previous years.
