Last week the YouTube blogger Zoella admitted that her hit debut novel, Girl Online, was written with "help" from her publisher.
In a post shared on Twitter, Zoella, or Zoe Sugg, said: "Of course I was going to have help from Penguin's editorial team in telling my story."
While she joins a huge host of authors who have received aid from so-called ghost writers, the revelation was met by many with disapproval.
The BBC's arts editor Will Gompertz reflects on why, in a world that focuses on the individual, some of Zoella's fans felt duped by their idol.
