Name: Cher.
Age: 70.
Appearance: The UK’s greatest champion.

It’s impenetrable. At least that tweet didn’t have any emoji in it. An hour later she wrote:

Do say: “[praying hands emoji]4CHER SHE, Has“GOOD” understanding OF [Union Jack emoji] [toilet emoji] [crying face emoji] [giant double red exclamation mark emoji]”
Don’t say: “Can we get a translator in?”
