It's not the first time the 47-year-old has had to take to social media to set the record straight, having been used for fake pages a number of times in recent years. Earlier this year, Elaine's images were used for a financial scam, with a social media account purporting to be Elaine messaging people via TikTok. 'Please report this if you see it — it's not me!' Elaine told her online followers. The warning at the start of the year came at a similar time broadcaster Ryan Tubridy issued a similar one, with the presenter telling followers 'Insta is the only social media I do.'

Suzanne Kane says she was ‘standing up for herself' after sudden exit from 98FM
The DJ had been hosting the mid-morning show alongside Brian Dowling but had been on leave from the programme since February. Last month, the Dubliner revealed she was stepping away from the show after five years on air. Speaking to RSVP Magazine, Suzanne noted how she never likes to be the 'loudest person in the room'. 'I have no want in the world to annihilate anybody. I don't like confrontation or conflict,' she explained. 'I was standing up for myself, it was never about anybody else. My dad passed 20 years ago but he always taught me that you never get your point across when you shout. 'I've learned that you don't have to be the loudest person in the room to be heard. Sometimes saying very little is all you need to say, and you move on to the next bit.' In June, Suzanne broke the silence over the matter with a lengthy Instagram post that she described as a 'life update'. "After nearly 5 years, I'm stepping away from my role presenting 10AM to 1PM on 98FM,' she said at the time. 'Anyone who knows me, will know how much I adore radio and the Bauer family inside Marconi house, but for now, it's time to let the 'Good Times' roll for someone else. 'A word to the amazing team, I loved the madness and radio nerdiness that we all shared and how much we cared. Radio is really special and that's because of the people who do the heavy lifting to make it all come together. I'm glad to have been on this rollercoaster with you all.

'I made the decision earlier in the year that I would not be continuing co-hosting on Brian Dowling & Suzanne Kane on @98fmdublin making this Friday June 6th my very last show on Brian Dowling & Suzanne Kane,' he wrote on social media.

"It took me a minute to get into my new groove, but when I did, WOW, I honestly have had the best time & have genuinely laughed every day; even on those bad days, being part of this show ALWAYS puts a smile on my face.

Olympic hero Jack Woolley's favourite TV shows, books and music for the summer
Jack Woolley, the athlete who's currently training in sunny Madrid, has spilled the beans on his top summer picks for books, TV shows, and music. Chatting with RSVP Magazine, Jack shared: "I love easy TV. I'm training in Spain at the moment and I love throwing on a few episodes of Desperate Housewives. When I'm at home, I watch Gogglebox or First Dates Ireland." He also dished on his latest viewing habits: "I recently started watching a documentary about the Barnett family who adopted the young girl from Ukraine. It's really good." "There's also a drama series about it on Disney + where they've recreated it. I prefer the documentary, I like watching real people talking about the case rather than American actors trying to portray the story." Jack loves summer based TV shows. He added: "Love Island has gotten very samey, but that's how I passed my time during Covid. As a kid, I had a fixation with watching Benidorm. Watching it felt like I was on holiday myself. It was great." Jack can remember reading and specific books by the pool or on the beach when he was growing up. He said: "I read The Hunger Games series, which came out when I was about 14 or 15. I also read Harry Potter. "Other than that, I didn't have a great attention span. My books these days are more about sports psychology." What podcasts is he listening to at the moment? "My friend Kayleigh Trappe, from Dancing With The Stars, started doing a podcast called Mná Sport. She interviews women in sport. "I've found it very interesting especially because I've trained with some of the people she's had on. It's mad seeing two of my friends coming together on a podcast. "When people say they listen to podcasts, I'd love to know the percentage of people who listen on Spotify or just watch clips on TikTok. "I prefer to have something to engage me visually as well." Jack is big into music, and his playlist is always full of throwback classics. He said: "I'm a music person. Some people put on a podcast while they're cleaning the house, I have the tunes blaring out on a speaker. "I'm really into 90s and early 00s trance techno music. "I love Scooter and Sash, Encore En Fois is a great one. The peak of music was 2014 when Justin Bieber was coming into himself." He continued: "My top artist is Miley Cyrus. Music is a bit samey at the moment, I don't think it's very good. It all sounds the same to me."

X-Factor star Mary Byrne: 'I started taking CBD oil and it changed my life'
X-Factor star Mary Byrne has revealed her incredible health transformation journey after admitting she was plagued by "aches and pains" six years ago. The talented singer has spoken candidly about the realisation that it's never too late to get a grip on your health and well-being. Mary has also opened up about how the use of CBD oil has dramatically improved her sleep quality and helped her deal with anxiety, reports RSVP Live. In the past, Mary says she used to struggle to sleep and would wake up every two hours, but things have taken a turn for the better. Speaking to RSVP Magazine, she said: "I get around eight hours. I started using CBD oil from the brand Focus. It's all natural and produced in Ireland. When I take it, I sleep very well. Beforehand, I would get two hours of sleep and be up during the night, going downstairs to make a cup of tea. I've been taking it for over a year. "It really calmed my mind and helped me sleep. I take it an hour before bed, but I also take it in the morning. It keeps my anxiety levels low. It works for me, but I don't know if it would work for everyone." "When I take the oil, I find it makes a huge difference in my way of thinking," Mary added. "I went back to being me and being able to focus. When a problem comes up, I know I can work on it and solve it. Whereas beforehand, I would have panicked. I focus better with the oil. I also take anti-depressants. They work for me." Mary also expressed her happiness about the growing public discourse regarding the use of anti-depressants today. "Because when I first took an anti-depressant I had just started the change-of-life and was going through the menopause," she explained. "I've been on them since. I'm 65 now and I can't come off them. There's nothing I can do about that now, I just have to get on with it. I'm glad people are opening up about it because now you can look into your life and what reasons could be causing it." Mary is a fan of supplements, believing they lend a hand with her arthritis and keeping her calm. She said: "I take a multivitamin through the winter. I also take evening primrose, which I find fabulous. It keeps me relaxed. I also take turmeric. I have arthritis, so I take it. I don't know if it does any good, but I take it every day. I also have an amazing daughter who cooks for me. I eat a lot of greens and fruit." "I joined my local gym for €20. If it's a very bad day out and I can take my tablets to get rid of the pain, I go on the treadmill. I'll do 30 minutes. Then I'll go into the swimming pool. I try to do that two or three times a week," Mary added. Looking back on how her health mindset has transformed, Mary reflected: "When I was young, I was living my life and I thought it was the best thing ever. "I didn't think about dying. I thought I was indestructible. If I could go back to then, I would tell myself that you don't have to stop living life to be healthy. I used to play tennis and football, but then I'd go off with my mates and have a fabulous weekend. "I would tell myself to be healthy during the week, don't eat rubbish and have fun at the weekends. My health hit me six years ago. I started to get aches and pains. I realised I should have been looking after myself a lot earlier, but I'm trying now."
