Twilight star Kristen Stewart said her friends and family get bombarded with messages from her fans on social networking sites.

The 20-year-old actress, best known for playing Bella Swan in the Twilight films, doesn’t have her own page on Facebook or Twitter but her family do, and she admitted fans often find out they are related to her.

She said to UK newspaper Daily Record: “My friends all have Facebook pages and stuff because they are normal people that can have those things.

“My brother is constantly being plagued, though, because they somehow find out I’m friends with them and then the imposters try to go on and message my brother pretending they are me.

“Both my brother and my friends always complain to me about it.”
