The Late Late Show host and RTÉ radio presenter Ryan Tubridy has taken to social media to share a fake Tubs account doing the rounds.
The broadcasting star shared on Instagram that the somewhat-convincing, fake account had been set up - cloning his almost exactly.
The Sun reports that when Tubridy brought his fans' attention to the fake Instagram account, it had made a total of 58 posts and had 1.4K followers.

Sharing the news of the fake account, Ryan posted on his stories: "If anyone receives a message from this fake account, please ignore.
"Working on getting it removed."
The account, titled private_instatubridy07, has since been removed from Instagram alongside Tubridy’s post regarding the account.
Meanwhile, the race to replace Tubridy as Late Late Show host rages on. However, bookies are currently labelling it a "two-horse race".
Claire Byrne remains the 1/2 favourite, but Patrick Kielty is hot on her heels with his odds dramatically tumbling from 50/1 into 2/1.
RTE favourite Sarah McInerney is the next at 4/1, followed by Angela Scanlon at 9/1. 2FM radio host Jennifer Zamparelli is also still in the mix at 12/1, as is Baz Ashmawy at 14/1.
Brendan O’Connor and Tommy Tiernan, who are both no strangers to chat show hosting duties are now tied at 18/1, while Doireann Garrihy is sitting at 20/1 to take over The Late Late Show gig.
Marty Morrissey, Alan Hughes and Martin King are now the rank outsiders as things stand, with all three priced at 200/1.
