April Fools’ Day is always a time for fun and laughter, and this year was no exception! Celebrities jumped on the prank bandwagon, fooling fans and friends with some seriously creative—and sometimes outrageous—jokes.
From hilarious fake business ventures to cheeky social media stunts, here’s how the stars celebrated the most mischievous day of the year.
Frankie Bridge’s Hilarious Nipples Gag
Kicking things off with a bang, Loose Women star Frankie Bridge had her followers completely fooled with a wild Instagram prank.
The 36-year-old singer-turned-presenter announced a brand-new product—Fnips—designed to give fans nipples just like hers!
Frankie shared a professional-looking promo video, claiming she had molded the product from her own and that it was months in the making.
She joked that she wanted to capitalize on the obsession people seem to have with her refusal to wear a bra.
Her playful caption read: “No more creating content for clickbait—the Fnips do it all for you!” Fans flooded the comments, with many admitting they fell for it at first, while others applauded her commitment to the joke.
Ant and Dec Swap TV for Decking?
Meanwhile, comedy duo Ant and Dec had fans doing a double take with their unexpected “career change.”
The I’m A Celebrity hosts announced their new decking business, Plank and Deck, alongside an image of themselves dressed in hard hats and tool belts.
They claimed they had teamed up with a contractor named Dave after a disastrous office decking job and wanted to help him promote his services—by putting their famous faces on the side of his van.
Of course, most fans weren’t fooled, with comments like, “Come on guys, we know what day it is!” and “Nice try lads!” proving that their audience was one step ahead.

Lorraine Kelly’s ‘New Tattoo’ Falls Flat
Over on ITV, Lorraine Kelly tried to pull off a sentimental prank by pretending to get a tattoo of her granddaughter’s name.
She even explained why she chose purple ink—it was her granddaughter’s favorite color.
However, viewers weren’t impressed, calling the prank “cringeworthy” and “painfully dragged out.”
Some even joked that the ultimate twist would’ve been if the tattoo artist had actually inked her for real!
