A host of celebrities, ranging from comedians to athletes, have mocked President Donald Trump for his claim that he turned down Time's Person of the Year Award.

In Mr Trump original tweet he said he "took a pass" after being contacted by the magazine saying he was probably going to win.

Time has since said that is not how it goes about making its decision.

In response, high-profile Twitter users began talking about all the awards they had turned down.

The likes of Andy Murray and Mark Hamill joined in the fun.
