Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden has taken to his official Twitter page this afternoon to call on his followers' help.

The star is bothered by another account on the social networking site as it uses his name, although is spelled with one extra 'n' on McFadden, and has posted a series of offensive messages such as: "And I make more than most!...Smoking on planes, marrying Kerry Katona, writing songs about rape, leaving Westlife, sh**ging hookers."

After being made aware of the imposter, McFadden asked his fans to help discover who is running the page (pictured below) and even offered a reward in exchange for a name:

"Anyone who knows who owns and runs the hoax twitter account @brianmcfaddenn let me know. $1000 REWARD if you do. Apparently if enough people report them they will be banned. Could you do me a favour and click report on @brianmcfaddenn much appreciated."
