Jess posted a screenshot of a message sent from a concerned fan who wrote: "Just thought you should know that someone has used your photos and name and (age?) on Tinder."

Jess revealed that she'd been sent the fake dating profile from a number of people.

"Hahahaha I literally JUST had this sent to me by another person. I'm not on Tinder so I'm sure the account will be taken down soon if they can't verify it 🤣."

"Sushi is with my ex as I had to leave in a rush for my father's funeral, but I am trying to get him on a flight asap from France to the UK," Jessika said.

"If anyone knows of any airlines that can help let me know as it's a little unfair he's having to watch my dog whilst we aren't together anymore"
