"I feel like I've been completely scammed and made a fool out of," she told The Wash Online. "We spoke almost every day, he told me he wanted me to meet his son once I got to Scotland and made me feel so wanted – but it was all lies."
Olivia revealed that she learned the truth from a stranger in the pub, adding: "I had no idea what to do, or what I'd done wrong and then a lady in a pub approached me and asked if I was still seeing him.
"She said, 'Don't. He has a girlfriend. Has had a girlfriend the whole time. You can do better pet.'"
