David Attenborough was “appalled” to find his name and image used without permission to promote CBD oil on Facebook, his spokesman has said.

The broadcaster was first alerted to the social media page advertising “David Attenborough CBD Oil” by one of his supporters, who wrote to him after she was “misled by the adverts” and overcharged for the product.
