Four-time kickboxing world champion Andrew Tate was reported to have died yesterday after Piers Morgan's Twitter account was hacked and shared fake news of his demise.
The TV host's social media account was compromised in the early hours of the morning, posting a series of offensive tweets and threats to release private messages to and from Morgan involving big name celebrities. But the most viral of the tweets was one that announced Tate had been killed in Dubai, with over 4.6million people reading the news.
Tate has appeared three times on Morgan's show, most recently last week, with a number of memorable moments going viral involving the pair. They appear to have formed something of a friendship, which would have made it more believable for Twitter users who saw the post.
