Jeremy Vine has joked that he thought he had died after reading that tributes were pouring in for an app sharing his name.
The broadcaster spotted a news story about Twitter closing its Vine app, with the headline “Tributes to Vine as the video app shuts down”.
He posted a screen grab of the headline on Twitter and quipped that he thought the messages might have been for him.
Journalist Piers Morgan was quick to pick up on it, assuring Jeremy that he would have been missed if it had been true.
Video looping app Vine has now closed, and will become Vine Camera.
