A squirrel who popped up in a tourist's photo is now stealing even more scenes online.

Known as the 'Crasher Squirrel', it first appeared to spoil a photo taken by tourists in Banff, Canada, the Canadian Press reported.

The photo was posted online and has since become the latest fad to sweep the internet, magically appearing in photos with celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Tiger Woods, Osama bin Laden and The Beatles.

The fad has also spawned websites such as "The Squirrelizer", which allows you to digitally insert the famous squirrel into any picture.

The squirrel now has its own Facebook and Twitter pages, set up by Canadian tourism agencies.
