David Attenborough left ‘appalled’ after being used in fake advert ‘He extends sympathies'

Sir David also pointed out that fans should stay away from any Facebook account claiming to be or advertising products on his behalf.

The star’s representative insisted he doesn’t use Facebook and only allows his image to be used to promote his books and TV shows, such as Planet Earth and Blue Planet.

They continued: “He also wants to make it clear that there is no authorised David Attenborough Facebook account, as there are many false accounts on Facebook claiming to be his.

“This is being reported to Facebook and Sir David would encourage anyone who spots these fraudulent adverts also to report them to Facebook.”
