Catfishing journalist 'used identical password' for fake online identity

GB News star Dan Wootton accused of using identical password for Martin Branning catfishing pseudonym

Former partner alleges Wootton used the Martin Branning alias to 'catfish' ex-colleagues

GB News star Dan Wootton is facing allegations that he used an identical password for his catfishing pseudonym, Martin Branning. The allegations were made by Wootton's ex-boyfriend, who claims that Wootton used the Martin Branning alias to "catfish" former colleagues.

The potential for harm to the brand became obvious when this newspaper unmasked Wootton in July. Wootton's ex-boyfriend claimed last week that Wootton, who is now a presenter on GB News, used the Martin Branning alias to offer individuals the chance to work with celebrities.

The allegations name him as Martin Branning, a fake online showbiz agent who offered individuals the chance to work with celebrities.
