Twitter UK celebrity chart – 17th July

July 17, 2009 by Mike Teasdale

A month since my last look at the murky world of celebrities on Twitter – so what’s new? 

Well as usual I have noticed someone I’ve miss someone completely off the list – in this case Jamie Oliver, who has swept up an impressive 150,000 followers.

Elsewhere, Lily Allen is now very close to the magic one million followers – I guess she’ll probably make it in a week or so.

And those who were shocked at Coldplay overtaking Stephen Fry will not be cheered by the fact that Richard Bacon now has more followers than the erudite Mr Fry.
