Daniel O’Donnell has warned his fans not to fall for social media “scammers” claiming he is sick and in need of help.

The County Donegal singer said he had become aware of “fake and doctored” images showing him in hospital.

“Please ignore all of these things that you see on Facebook,” he said, in a video message.

“I am very well – I hope you are well too.”

The country star urged fans not to send scammers money thinking it was to help care for him.

O’Donnell is one of Irish music’s biggest international stars.

In the video posted on Facebook, O’Donnell said it was important fans knew the images were fake.

“We can’t do much about these scammers, all we can do is let you know not to engage with them, never reply to them and, above all, never send them money,” he said.

It is not the first time the singer has been the subject of an online con.

In 2018, he warned fans that a fraudster had been impersonating him on WhatsApp in a bid to extort money from them.

Writing at the time in his fan magazine Daniel, the singer told fans to watch out for bogus requests for charity donations.
