Coronation Street actress Kym Marsh is the latest victim of a Twitter hoaxer (@KymMarsh) as the owner of the account - impersonating Kym - tweeted that she's leaving the show to record another album.

I can confirm that this is 100% pure bullsh*t.

Reacting to the news that she was allegedly on Twitter, she told me this afternoon: "How funny - I'm not quitting, I'm not releasing an album and I'm not even on Twitter - I don't have the time!"

Oh, and @bev_c isn't Corrie landlady Bev Callard, either.

Don't people have better things to be doing?
