You may remember that on Monday, Donald Trump retweeted a photo of serial killers Fred and Rosemary West after someone on Twitter pretended they were his parents.

Twitter: @realDonaldTrump

Trump deleted the image after realising his mistake, and subsequently suggested he may sue.

Well, this is now in danger of becoming a trend, with someone today tricking country singer Billy Ray Cyrus into retweeting a picture of notorious paedophile Jimmy Savile.

Twitter: @ekajronnoco

Savile, one of Britain's worst sex offenders, is thought to have carried out more than 150 rapes and sexual assaults before his death in 2011.

At 1:30pm on Friday the retweet was still showing on Cyrus's timeline.

Jake imo, who tweets as @ekajronnoco, seems to be enjoying the attention his prank is causing as numerous UK publications cover Cyrus's error.
