Dishing up dinner gets mum millions of TikTok fans

A mum whose simple videos of her family's evening dinners have had millions of views on TikTok says she is blown away by their success.

Rebecca Murphy, 36, from Great Barr in the West Midlands, decided in September on whim to post about making a fry-up for her family's dinner.

Since then, her Dish Up Dinner account has amassed more than 450,000 followers with 24 million likes for her videos, as she serves up her family's meal each evening.

Known for her catchphrase "Bish Bash Bosh", Mrs Murphy said she never expected so many people to engage with her content.

She added: "It's mind-blowing honestly, because I'm just in my kitchen and I don't realise that the outside world are watching!

"I feel like it's a such a relatable thing to do because everyone is constantly having to think 'what's for dinner tonight?'"

Mrs Murphy films her videos with her phone in a holder designed for the car, which she then speeds up and adds a voiceover to before publishing.

Speaking to BBC Radio WM, Mrs Murphy explained how she dealt with negative comments and being online.

"I'm just a normal person, having that many followers doesn't make you anything special," she said.

"You have to have thick skin. Because of my age, I feel like maybe I can cope a bit easier.

"There comes a point where you do just need to switch your phone off but I am so privileged to have this as my job."

When asked how to achieve TikTok fame, Mrs Murphy said her biggest piece of advice was to post consistently.

"Post the video, I know it sounds ridiculous but don't worry about the editing and making it perfect," she said.

"People don't like perfection because that's not real life."
