More graffiti poking fun at celebrities has appeared across a city suburb.
New spray-painted messages, which recently began appearing in West Denton, Newcastle, have now been spotted in the area.
Previous targets included Lorraine Kelly, Danny Dyer, Rita Ora, Dermot O’Leary, Jessie J, and Jade Thirlwall, with messages ranging from lewd to simply strange.
Some of the graffiti has already been removed, but new messages have continued to appear in tunnels and on walls.

Vicky Binns, a Westerhope resident who discovered the latest graffiti on a walk, said: "I couldn't get my head around it – the people around me couldn't get their heads round it.
"It must be an older person with the references – my daughter Finn had to ask who Bonnie Langford was."

"It's perfectly innocent and ridiculous fun, it's certainly got everyone talking."
Some of the latest messages include "Wayne Rooney has his tea on a Peppa Pig plate" and "Sharon Osbourne doesn't wash out her recycled plastics."

Other slogans read "Joey Essex's favourite colour is 5" and "Bonnie Langford still has an Orange Wednesday voucher in her purse."
However, Councillor Peter Lovatt, cabinet member for neighbourhoods and local services, has condemned the graffiti as "unacceptable."
Cllr Lovatt said: "We are aware of the graffiti in West Denton and have taken immediate action to ensure it is removed as quickly as possible.
"This type of graffiti is unacceptable.
"It damages public spaces, blights our communities, and creates an unnecessary cost to taxpayers through the resources required to remove it.
"It is a form of criminal damage and a recordable offence."
