The annual BBC round up of news stories that 'seem like April Fool's jokes'
9. Mary Poppins star Dick Van Dyke has been seen handing out handfuls of cash in the street. The actor, 95, was seen withdrawing money at a bank and then giving it out in Malibu, California, to people queuing at an organisation that helps those out of work find jobs.
2. The Voice judge Will.i.am has described his diet as "liquitarian", saying that he refuses to chew food on a Monday. He said since Christmas he only eats solid foods on certain days of the week. On the other days, his meals are all blended and he drinks juice every other hour, he told the Table Manners podcast.
An image circulated on the Facebook group Spotted:Thame which was photoshopped to look like a breaking news bulletin that read: 'Coronavirus in Thame tap water - all Thame residents urged to isolate'.While for some members of the online group it was obvious the picture was an April Fools' Day prank, many slammed it as 'pathetic' and 'sick'.
"We confirm that it was an April Fool's joke," the clarification read. "You can enjoy the evening by ordering the pizza of your choice."
One of them said he had "almost had a stroke" after receiving a €466 invoice for 38 pizzas that he had never ordered.
