By 8.30am on Monday crowds showed no signs of dissipating, with fans – mostly teenagers and young people – sardined amongst one another, forming a huge sea of people stretching for metres outside of the Today Show’s Northern Sydney studio.
The mass turnout comes just days after the stars were similarly mobbed by huge crowds of fans in Perth.
Speaking to Today’s Karl and Sarah, Paul said the turnout was ”on a different level”.
“Oh my gosh, bro, it was like GTA,” he said.
“As soon as we got to the airport we had four cars chasing us.
“It was outrageous. They were trying to cut us off.”
The duo were escorted by the Today hosts to a Nine balcony where they were met with roars of applauding and cheers from the hundreds of adoring fans below.
“This is a surreal moment,” Paul said while absorbing the atmosphere.
Asked how the pair “manage” their viral fame, KSI responded: “I don’t think we are able to”.
“I don’t honestly know how we do this,” he said.
“We’re just always here to entertain the people.”
KSI then chants “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” with buzzing crowds below replying “oi, oi, oi”.
“I just want to get down there, man,” Paul said to Karl.
“He’s an inspirational guy, inspirational man,” one starstruck fan told Today reporter Gabrielle Boyle.
“I’m going to keep going throughout my life.”
Paul, who has some 23 million followers online, describes himself as an “artist, boxer and wrestler”.
One fan was asked what it is about the star that attracted them to head down to greet the duo this morning.
“They are amazing people,” he said.
“I love them with my whole heart,” he said.
Crowds are believed to have queued for hours in anticipation, some even arriving last night.
Police are in attendance to ensure the safety of the group.
