'I think I just need to get me head out of the game for a little while'
The Irish TikTok star and musician Garron Noone has stunned fans by announcing a 'tiny little goodbye' from social media.
The popular Mayo man who shares more than four million followers across TikTok and Instagram became emotional as he announced he was taking a step back.
'I'm gonna be saying a little goodbye to you today, just a tiny little goodbye, just maybe for a couple of months,' he said.
'I just need to take a small little social media break. I've been posting videos pretty much every day for the last two and a half years, and it's been my great f***ing pleasure to do so.

Revealing the toll it has taken and the mental pressure that has accompanied his success, he reflected: 'I think I just need to get me head out of the game for a little while, and I'll come back nice and fresh with me lovely new ideas, and we'll have a great craic together.'
He then became emotional as he expressed his gratitude to fans, telling them: 'I want to thank you from the absolute bottom of my soul for everything you've given me over the last few years.
'All of the opportunities, all of the people I've got to meet, everything good has come from you, and I really f***ing appreciate it, and you'll never understand how much I do. But thank you.'
In a kind-hearted farewell gesture, Noone said he would make a charitable donation on behalf of his supporters.
'A lot of the money that I make from social media and stuff, I like to put it in a little pot and give it to charity, and I don't believe that money is coming from me, it's coming from you, the people that watch.
'So thank you so much for that. It's been able to help with animals and homelessness and all sorts of important things.
'And today I want to make a €10,000 donation on behalf of you good, delicious people to Doctors Without Borders.
'There's a lot going on in the world at the moment. I know you're hearing about that everywhere. You probably don't want to hear about it from me, but they do excellent humanitarian work, and I just think it's a great charity to give to.
'So thank you very much for that, and thank you so much for everything. Until I see you again, and if I don't see you again, it's been a pleasure having you. Maybe you won't catch me when I come back.
'It's been a pleasure having you. You are delicious. Stay delicious. And until next time, follow me, I'm delicious.'
Noone previously opened about how he 'lost a lot of sponsors' and didn't leave his house for a week following a wave of reaction to a video he posted to social media in March.
Noone deactivated his TikTok and Instagram accounts in the wake of backlash he faced to comments he made on immigration in a video shared following MMA fighter Conor McGregor's St Patrick's Day visit to the White House.
In the initial video posted on Thursday, March 20, Noone said: 'There absolutely is an immigration issue in Ireland' and 'the systems we have in place are being taken advantage of'.
When he returned to social media days later, he clarified that he is not anti-immigration nor is he aligned with McGregor.
Speaking to The Hard Shoulder on Newstalk, Noone said he received 'hundreds of messages' quoting things he had never said and linking him with people he didn't want to be 'associated with'.
'I felt like I was going to walk outside and people were going to start shouting at me about me all these awful things people were saying I was going to be,' he said.
'So, I didn't leave the house for a week after that. I didn't sleep much while I was gone and look, I've learned from that. I know what might come if I say something in the future. That's life and I've accepted that as part of what I'm doing.'
Noone said he didn't expect 'how much worse' the situation would become when he deactivated his TikTok and Instagram accounts, which each have more than two million followers.
He said he 'lost a lot of sponsors' as a result of the controversy but 'things have returned to normal now' in his working life.
