Emmerdale star Michelle Hardwick issues warning to fans after disturbing fake account appears
EMMERDALE’s Michelle Hardwick has been forced to issue a warning to fans after a disturbing fake account appeared.
The actress, 47 plays the role of Vanessa Woodfield on the long-running ITV soap.
But taking to social media, she’s been forced to alert her fans to a fake account that emerged.
The disturbing profile is using her images and following fans on Instagram.
Michelle shared a screenshot of the bogus profile to warn her followers not to interact with it.
She said: “Just been sent this. It’s NOT me. Please don’t interact with this account thinking it’s me.
“I’ve reported it. Some people are really bored aren’t they?!?!”
Fans replied to the actress and slammed whoever is behind the account.
One said: “I’ve reported it, some strange people about.”
A second wrote: “How bored are they?!! reported, hope it gets taken down soon xx”
“I have lost count the amount of fake accounts I have blocked pretending to be celebrities and public figures I 100% agree with you they sure are,” said a third.
While a fourth commented: “I got this and blocked it.”
Last year Michelle had to ramp up security at her countryside mansion after receiving terrifying homophobic death threats.
Vanessa has been the target of horrific abuse because of her sexuality, and the soap star has even had to get the police involved at times because she feared for her safety.
