I am pretty sure Patrick Stewart was one of those (he supported Huddersfield), Dani Filth (massive QPR fan), Will Ferrell (Chelsea, although knew so little about it he mixed us up with them once), any more that turned out to be nonsense?
Players who people claimed supported Ipswich, but didn't were Jason Dozzell (Spurs and his brother is a ST holder there), James Scowcroft (Manchester United), Richard Wright (Arsenal), Scott Loach (Manchester United supporter), and more recently Luke Woolfenden (Manchester United).
Update from below (verified)
Patrick Stewart: Huddersfield Town
Will Ferrell: Chelsea
Dani Filth: QPR
Ed Sheeran: Bradford City
Fabio Wardley: Manchester United
John Motson: Barnet/Chelsea
John Peel: Liverpool
Marcus Evans: Chelsea [Post edited 30 Oct 16:13]

I can say with 100% certainty (or may be nearer 90% given the elapsed time) that Dozzell was a 'Chelsea fan' as I recall one of those player spotlight/focus on's in a match programme where a question was : 'Favourite other team/Team supported' |  |

What about the suggestion that Delia Smith wore an Ipswich scarf for the '78 cup final?
Her "Let's be 'aving you", budgie fancying and terrace accusations that someone messed in her cooking suggests that she may not, in fact, support Ipswich Town.
However, she might be the most double of all double agents. |  | | |

Ed Sheeran once claimed he was a Bradford fan! (but there are pictures of him in an Ipswich shirt as a kid) |  |

I'm glad Dani filth is not a town fan.
Nigel Havers and Griff Rhys Jones apparently are. |  |

Remember the band Reef? Had that massive hit Place Your Hands in about 1998. The rumour was they were blue through and through.
Then they turned up on Soccer AM one week.
"So lads, who do you support?"
Me to the person sitting next to me: "Here we go, they're Town fans, you know"
Reef: "Wolves"
Me: "Oh" |  | | |

The band Bad Company claimed to be fans in the late 70s. But I am pretty sure it was a glory hunting of the moment type of thing. | | | |

John Peel, was he not a regular attender of Town games but was actually a Liverpool fan? Or did I remember that wrong? |  |

He was. Had a season ticket in the Upper Cobbold. |  | | |

He was spotted often in the summer at local beaches dressed in a manure shirt!
Flynn Downes was a hammer though, and they are mates, so maybe that was the confusion? | |

Chester Bennington is an unlikely fan and I thought it was b0llocks.... but, on further investigation, it seems like he was. The club even gave him a tribute on his death. | | | |

Yeah his wife was (presumably still is) a massive fan and we became his second team. Loads of mentions of Town on his show! https://peel.fandom.com/wiki/S |  | | |

Yes, a weird one but correct. Connection to Haverhill I think. | |

She appeared on Swap Shop, coming from Christchurch Park I believe, sporting a scarf and big rosette. She still lives in Suffolk despite the Budgie connection. | |

"Bennington became a fan in the early 1990s through his father, Lee Bennington (a retired Phoenix police officer), who befriended Alan Howard, a retired Suffolk police officer." | | | |
