Warning: This clip contains spoilers. Catfishing is the practise of using a fake profile to start an online romance. The podcast Sweet Bobby has been shining a light on this issue through the story of Kirat Assi, a 42-year-old radio presenter who started a relationship with a person she thought to be Bobby, a handsome cardiologist, via Facebook. However, when he repeatedly fails to visit her in person, she slowly comes to learn his true identity. Kirat shares her story with Â鶹Éç Woman’s Hour’s Anita Rani, and is joined by investigative journalist Alexi Mostrous, who explains the current legislation around catfishing.
