Life may be imitating art for Daniel O'Donnell after the singer was forced to warn fans not to engage in any "live chat" with a 'fake' Daniel.
The star recently hit the headlines with a spoof zombie movie 'Night of the Daniels' in which dozens of waxwork Daniels come to life and take over a town.
Now the 60-year-old entertainer has issued a warning to fans after hackers set up the fake Facebook page 'Daniel O'Donnell Live.'

Daniel took to his official Facebook page which has 271,000 followers to warn fans not to engage in the new page.
The star's management fear hackers will engage with fans online and dupe them out of cash by pretending to be the real Donegal star.
He said: "Just to remind people not to engage in conversation with this page as it's a fake account pretending to be a livechat."
Daniel has been targeted by hackers trying to cash in on his fame previously.
In January last, Daniel was forced to plead with fans not to answer private messages
The singer, 60, told fans in no uncertain terms how he will never try to contact them privately through his Facebook messenger.
He said: “Many of you are getting messages asking you to message back either to me or to somebody in our office.
“I just want you to know that the Facebook page is only ever used to put up messages or videos and we never asks you to message us back.
“We don’t ever message anybody directly or ask you to private message us back.
“Please don’t message anybody back as these people are only trying to take advantage of you. I don’t know whether they can extract money but it’s certainly not us so don’t answer any message like that.”
