Love Cheats

The first of four documentaries exploring stories of romance fraud, exposing the love, lies and jaw-dropping tactics of heartless manipulators and the fight to bring them to justice. Megan was swept off her feet by charming Lord Bertie Underwood, who arrived on the Isle of Wight and showered her with gifts and luxury trips away. Before long, the pair were engaged. However, her world started to fall apart when she found his wallet with numerous IDs under different names. Worse was to come when she discovered he had taken out numerous business loans in her name - and even her engagement ring proved to be fake.

When firefighter James messaged Coleen and asked her out on a date, she was impressed by his charming, generous nature and fun-loving sense of humour. She introduced him to her two daughters and her twin sister Karen and James soon becomes part of the family. And when he reveals that he's expecting a £2million inheritance from his relatives in France, he goes into business with Karen, while planning an extravagant wedding for Coleen. Despite James' claim that he's had a vasectomy, Coleen unexpectedly falls pregnant, and doubts begin to creep in about James' story. As the deceptions start to unravel, the police investigate James' story, ultimately achieving some justice for the family and closure for Coleen.
