As soon as the article had been published, screengrabs appearing to show the original headline -- which described one judge as "an openly gay ex-Olympic fencer" -- started doing the rounds on Twitter.

It's worth noting that the article in its current form has a different headline and there are no cached versions of the original one. But the selection of screengrabs shared on Twitter suggests it is genuine.

It wasn't long before Rowling waded in. And she pretty much summed up what everyone was thinking.

Rowling's tweet has been shared over 2000 times in 40 minutes.
