Ryan Tubridy was forced to issue a clarification on Tuesday after Morning Ireland was fooled by a hoax Twitter account which had reported the "death" of Kazuo Ishiguro.
The author, who Ryan said wrote two of his favourite books, trended on Twitter this morning after an account pretending to be Faber and Faber (a publisher) claimed that he had passed away.
The account had only tweeted four times, two of which were announcements of Ishiguro's supposed passing, and another which confirmed the account was "a hoax, created by Italian journalist Tommaso Debenedetti.
