- pointing out she had no knowledge at all of financial matters - quickly went viral.

Since posting it on 29 January it has been retweeted 54,000 times and more than 700,000 people have reacted to it."I'm a bit of a financial naif," she said.However, she admitted the popularity of her post had been "incredible".The double-barrelled surname which has prompted the confusion is down to her mother and father who "wanted me to know I was part of both families".

Her tweet inspired several other copycat tweets including a Mr Bonvino who admitted he could not give any advice on quality wines, a Ms Cobb who was unable to help with salad dressing suggestions and a Mr Weedon who said he had absolutely no bladder advice to impart.
