YouTube star Zoella has been at the centre of a Twitter and Instagram row after failing to recognise a picture she took of a "random man and his dog" was actually Pink Floyd's David Gilmour.

Zoella, real name Zoe Suggs, took a picture of Mr Gilmour and his dog on a beach and uploaded it to her Instagram account in 2014.

Unaware of the guitarist's fame, she captioned the photo: “I took this photo of a random man & his dog & other photos on the beach at sunset today! Click the link in my bio to give it a read. :).”
