TV presenter pronounced dead on Wikipedia page
Monday, 15 September 2008
Vernon Kay set the record straight today to confirm he is alive and well after cruel hoaxers spread rumours he had died.
An entry was posted on his Wikipedia page claiming that the TV star had drowned in a boating accident.
‘Vernon Kay sadly passed away after falling off a yacht on holiday in Greece on the 12th of September 2008,’ it said. ‘Kay, his wife Tess Daly and their daughter Phoebe were on the yacht.
‘Kay was spotted on his mobile by photographers before tragedy struck. He was waving to the photographers and slipped and fell off of the edge of the yacht and was knocked unconscious.’
But Vernon, 34, has spoken up to dismiss the prank.
‘I am alive and kicking,’ he tells The Sun. ‘A few friends rang to check that I was all right. I wish I was on a yacht in Greece.’
