Here are some links to stories about fake accounts that have been uncovered…
Seems that Rik Mayall has been deleted, and “Ricky Gervais” admits to being a fake account. Gordon wasn’t very convincing, but Duncan was slightly more so…

@valebrity Just to confirm my disapointment that you have declared @DuncanBannatyne fake. I’ve seen proof that it’s Duncan. Declare him Genuine!
