The Steps singer’s Facebook page and Twitter account has been filled with abusive messages and people failed to make the distinction between the two singers.

E-News in the USA didn’t help the situation when they posted the wrong singers picture with their online news report. The TV channel has since apologised for the error and launched an investigation in how it occurred.

One Twitter user, @gazoantics made light of the situation posting, “Turns out H from Steps is also called Ian Watkins and is getting so much abuse on his Facebook. Tragedy”

Following the Lost Prophet’s singer’s guilty plea, one of Britain’s largest music retailers  HMV have removed all copies of the bands albums from sale.
