She said: "It has been highlighted to me that there are a number of fake accounts out there pretending to be me."

The Thurles native stressed, in an Instagram post and story, that she has only one account, which is also the case for both Twitter and Facebook.

"They are just verified accounts. I don't have any private or personal accounts," she added.

The singer posted a picture of one of the fake Instagram accounts that had been contacting people. It has more than 1,000 followers.

She asked that her 666,000 following on Instagram to block these scammers and to report them as "they need to be stopped."

The Saturday's star had previously been sending the rumour mill into overdrive over speculation on whether she was in a throuple with boxer David Haye and his partner model Sian Osborne.

Following weeks of cryptic posts, it is now believed that Una has cut ties to the pair after she deleted all posts of her and them together, dating back to late last year when she got together with them.

She added: "Any other accounts claiming to be me are fake and could be scammers. Kindly report and block any such accounts. Thank you."
