‘Wrong one!’: Joan Collins is sick of being confused with a Dublin TD

Actress and writer Joan Collins no doubt gets some weird tweets from time to time, but lately she's had more to deal with than usual.

With the 2016 General Election for the Republic of Ireland just ten days away, another Joan Collins has been very active indeed on social media, leading to quite a bit of confusion.

The Independent Dublin South Central TD has been using her Twitter account to help her get her campaign message across – but not everyone has been replying to her using the right handle.

Joan (the five-times-married actress, not the TD) took to Twitter today to set some confused voters in the right direction. 

"You got the wrong Joan Collins – the one you want is @JoanCollinsTD," she wrote in response to a tweet about State finances.

Joan's name-twin soon picked up on the high-profile mention, tweeting soon after to say, "Today has so far been a good day. I even have the other Joan Collins forwarding on my messages."

If only there was a Hollywood star out there named Enda Kenny, the whole election campaign would be a LOT more entertaining.
