As police officers searched frantically for a lion on the loose today, others thought they would join in the hunt for the beast by posting their own version of the predator on the internet.
The claims a lion had been spotted near Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, sparked a huge outpouring of humour on social networking site Twitter, with hundreds of users claiming they had spotted the 'Essex lion'.
A common theme running along the images were scantily-clad women with bouffant hair, heavy make-up and spray-tanned.
Is this the lion? Many Twitter users claimed TOWIE star Gemma Collins, pictured wearing fitting make-up, was actually the lion on the loose as hundreds of users posted their own version of the predator on the site

Others superimposed big-hair dos onto pictures of lions – which were then re-tweeted by fellow Twitter followers.

Twitter users said whoever had seen the beast had actually seen the women from the show without make-up or without them brushing their hair.
