Hollywood superstar Joan Collins has taken to Twitter to clarify that she was not in fact arrested at a Dublin protest yesterday.
The United Left Alliance TD of the same name was detained at a water charge demonstration in Crumlin yesterday - Deputy Collins was later released without charge.
This prompted Actress Joan Collins to post this tweet to her near 133,000 followers

The tweet promoted a huge response being favourited and re-tweeted hundreds of times.
It was inevitable there would be a response.
First there was this....
For the record I'm not @JoanCollinsOBE as I'd never take an honour from a monarch nor did I wear shoulder pads in the 80s. The very idea!
