Imelda May has warned fans that someone has been impersonating her on social media and asking for money.
The Dubliner took to Twitter to alert her almost 50,000 followers, writing: "Hey people. This is me!!! Not the hacker who's privately messaging people as me, asking for money. I will NEVER do that! Be careful!"

Last week, former Westlife singer Shane Filan also warned his fans that someone was impersonating him online.
I am aware that some fans have been contacted by someone pretending to be me. These are my official accounts

I do not have any other accounts and I do not DM fans from these or any other accounts. I have reported the fake accounts and they will be dealt with ASAP. If you are contacted please report them also.
