The stepsister of Anne Frank has revealed that the wartime diarist probably would have been a fan of Justin Bieber.

As previously reported, the Canadian singer hit the headlines recently after saying in the Anne Frank House guestbook that he hoped she would have been a 'Belieber'.

Whilst the museum defended the star, the general public reckoned the 'Boyfriend' man was displaying ignorance.

However, Frank's stepsister Eva Schloss told the Telegraph that she thinks Bieber would have actually been correct. She said of the media storm surrounding his comment:

"It's so childish. She probably would have been a fan. Why not? He's a young man and she was a young girl, and she liked film stars and music. They make a lot of fuss about everything that is connected with Anne Frank."
