"People need to f* off, wasn't funny the first 100 times and isn't funny now.

"Get a grip people and read my f**king name."
Speaking today, Thomas detailed the messages he has received.
He said: "It has gotten to the point where I have had to change my name, profile pictures etc and somehow people have even got my mobile and have been receiving calls today as well.
"It is very annoying and worrying as I have lots of pictures of my son and girlfriend on my page, they have even been doing it on Twitter and Instagram .
"At the moment what annoys me the most is they have started sharing pictures of me and my son that's not on that, I am fuming."
