Newstalk ZB host Mike Hosking has slammed Facebook after discovering fake news reports circulating using his face and profile.
The fake news posts use Hosking's face and are accompanied by headlines such as "MIKE drops bombshell, producers forced to cut straight to commercial", and "Mike confirms allegations".
"I don't spend any time on Facebook but I know what's happening here," Hosking told listeners this morning.
"My picture comes up in your feed, and there's a whole bunch of stuff... you might see me spruiking some sort of product or service for you to join. This is all rubbish - it's spam, it's nonsense.
