Jason Manford did not know whether to be annoyed or flattered when it was pointed out to him that somebody on Tinder was using his likeness as their profile picture.

Fan Kate Stephenson sent a screengrab to Manford saying: "can't believe someone's using your photos on tinder!! Says in 10km from me and I'm in Sunderland, SR2. Will 37 lover of Jaffa cakes apparently." The user also described himself as "Property Tycoon" and "Gentleman...most of the time."

Manford quickly responded posting the following: "Best of luck Will of Sunderland! Careful using my face though, it's an absolute babe-magnet and in the wrong hands could prove fatal. Remember, with great power comes great responsibility."

Manford is not the first famous stand-up comedian whose picture has been borrowed by someone looking for a date. Someone on another page recently used Dara O Briain's picture.
