Korean pop stars BTS were the second most tweeted about people of 2021, losing out only to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, according to the social media site’s annual UK data report.

But the award winning septet received more attention on Twitter than Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, who placed fifth, and controversial former US president Donald Trump, in fourth.

Mr Trump became infamous on the site for his random and often capitalised tweets and was permanently suspended from the platform in January of this year.
