But the 28-year-old’s account was pulled at the weekend because TikTok believed he was pretending to be the flame-haired star.

Ty insisted: “It’s quite obvious I’m a lookalike. I actually can’t sing.

After reviewing his appeal, TikTok told Ty: “It was determined that your account has violated our Community Guidelines and cannot be restored.”

However it reinstated it after The Sun got in touch last night.
