It was inevitable that some celebrities would turn into
comedians as they tried to pull off a series of tricks and jokes on
April Fools' Day.
Leading the way with the poor pranks was actress Sheridan Smith who made some of her followers on Twitter believe she had bagged a prestigious new role.
The Gavin & Stacey star, 31, told people that she had won the female lead in 50 Shades Of Grey.
Gotcha!
Sheridan Smith pulled off the best April Fools' Day prank by claiming
she had the lead role in 50 Shades Of Grey opposite Eddie Redmayne
Sheridan
tweeted: 'I'm so excited to tell you that I've been cast as the lead
girl in 50 shades of grey opposite Eddie Redmayne, can't wait to start
filming!!'
However, the joke didn't last long and after just 15 minutes she revealed her previous post was one big April Fools prank.
She tweeted: 'I'm crying laughing that some of u actually fell for that! Especially amused by @fountain1987 @louiespence & @Ecclestonshire :D love ya's!!!'
Everyone's favourite X Factor reject Rylan Clark got in on the action by claiming he was making a dramatic return to the show which made him famous.
Looking good: Glamour model Jodie Marsh went the extra mile with her Ronseal fake tan tin
He
posted: 'So happy to finally announce I'm a judge on this years
@TheXFactor !!!! Want to wish @GBarlowOfficial good luck and hope I do
his seat proud'.
While Rylan didn't follow up with an announcement that his claim was fake, his ambitions were obviously intended as a joke.
Glamour model Jodie Marsh also added some mischief to proceedings as she tried to convince the public she had fake tan straight from a tin.
The bodybuilding star said: 'My fake tan best kept secret - Tanseal from @Ronseal Does exactly what it says on the tin!!', and accompanied it with a picture of the fictional product.
The cast of Hollyoaks would have been as surprised as their fans to learn that the soap was getting turned into a musical.
That's hilarious: The Saturdays denied that they were changing their name to The Fridays
In his dreams: Rylan Clarke pulled a prank on his followes announcing he was joining X Factor as a judge
Pull the other one: Geri Halliwell claimed she was due to work on a new song with Kanye West's blessing
Thankfully,
the long running show will not be making any West End appearances
despite the team tweeting: 'Sitting comfortably? Not for much longer,
'cos we have some HUGE news: #Hollyoaks is going to do a one-off musical
episode in summer 2013!'
Spice Girl Geri Halliwell claimed that she was due to release some new material and was moving away from the pop sound she was famous for.
Geri tweeted: 'Brand new im heading in a slash metal rap direction ,covering 'N -gers in Paris' Kanye loves my version , but told me to stop swearing?'
Music to the ears: The public were relieved to see Hollyoaks was not becoming a West End musical
The
Saturdays very unconvincingly said that they were changing their group
name to The Fridays, while X Factor alumni Lucy Spraggan claimed she was
getting married to Rylan.
Former TOWIE star Maria Fowler did not join in the banter, but her boyfriend James Morgan did try and stitch her up late in the day.
The owner of stiltonbutchers.co.uk hijacked her account and declared that she was going scuba diving on Tuesday.
However, always a step ahead of her man, Maria quickly noticed the prank and tweeted: 'I am not scuba diving tomorrow. That's James thinking he is funny. Nothing else more to say on the matter'.
Busted: Maria Fowler's boyfriend tried to claim the reality TV star was scuba diving but she soon rectified the situation
