| We've piled together a load of ACTUAL news from 1 April in years gone by with ridiculous classic prank stories. Can you tell which is which?
It’s fair to say we have a love/hate relationship with April Fool’s Day.
Yes, we all love it whenever someone falls for the old clingfilm on the toilet seat trick.
But it’s also hard work to be on guard against pranks and jokes from the moment you wake up.
It's that inherent wariness of the day which leads us to approach all news stories from that day with a giant fistful of salt - especially given the crazy state the world currently operates in.
So how hard is it to tell fact from fiction? We've put together four stories of true stories from April 1 of yesteryears, mixed it with a bit of fake news. It’s time to put your lie detection to the test…
