Welsh fans were excited at the prospect of the potential visit - and were quick to invite her to stay or visit for a cup of tea.

One fan tweeted: "I got a spare room in my house right by Splott, hen. Welcome any time."

They have been suggesting a range of different places for Michelle to visit in Wales such as Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

One user then added - "bonus points if you attempt to pronounce it."

To which Michelle replied "i saw the weather guy do it. i however cannot".

The weather presenter Liam Dutton, who Michelle was referring to, responded to her tweet claiming "That was me! But, coincidentally, I’m also from Splott. I was born and grew up there!."

A range of local businesses and communities in Splott have retweeted Michelle Visage asking her to visit them.

She has been invited to join an annual Christmas Litter Pick, visit the local fire station and attend a hot yoga class.
