She's the hugely popular influencer who went viral after a cringe-inducing encounter at last year's TikTok Awards.
And Sophia Begg, 19, who is better known as Sopha Dopha, has responded to the controversy.
Dopha was slammed online after her encounter with host Tony Armstrong, which she now says was nothing more than a misunderstanding.
During the ceremony Armstrong approached Dopha for an on-camera comment after telling her she 'looked ecstatic' after she received a nomination for Creator of the Year Award.
Dopha replied: 'Thank you, wow, stop flirting with me.'

Fans later accused her of not knowing the meaning of 'ecstatic', and speculated that she believed Armstrong was offering her a physical compliment, as in she 'looked exquisite'.
Speaking to Stellar, Dopha now says she was 'nervous'.
'Honestly, I could have vomited on the mic,' she explained.
'We were in the front row and I wasn't really briefed that someone would be coming across the front. I would have liked to have – not a script, but just some idea. Because when you're so nervous, you somewhat need a script.'
