Yet for US-based Ms Miller, the abuse has introduced her to a whole new fanbase - boosting her number of followers on Twitter to 28,000 - who can now keep up with her daily insights on American football and baseball. To make it clear, she did tweet: "Again, to my new UK-friends: Wrong Gina Miller. It's @thatginamiller you want. Appreciate all the engaging dialog though." She later said: "The tide began to shift when they realised I was the wrong Gina Miller - with lots of people saying they were sorry.

She added: "I'll take them, I hope they'll stay - if they want to chat about sports, I'm their girl."
