April Fools’ Day 2021 LIVE – Best jokes and pranks as they happen… just make sure YOU don’t fall for any
DESPITE the fact it rolls around every 12 months – millions of people still fall for April Fools’ jokes each year.
And 2021 will be no exception.
After a torrid year we could all do with a bit of a laugh, so The Sun has decided to gather together all the best jokes and pranks we’ve spotted this April Fools’.
Everybody from celebs to major corporate firms seem to be getting in on the act this year.

The prank left many furious, however, as it comes after the Dieselgate scandal in which the car firm cheated world emissions-testing at a cost to the company of more than $30bn – forcing VW to make a grovelling apology.
Thankfully not every joke has backfired so badly.
