I’m A Celeb’s Gillian McKeith and daughters scammed in huge Taylor Swift hoax

I’m A Celebrity’s Gillian McKeith and her daughters were left gutted after being conned out of Taylor Swift tickets, missing the much-anticipated gig and losing their dosh.

The telly health guru, aged 64, thought she’d scored seats for Taylor’s Eras Tour at Wembley Arena on June 22. But it turned out to be a cruel hoax, with the seller pocketing her cash instead. Gillian was planning to treat her daughters, Afton, 24, and birthday girl Skylar, 29, who’s just shared her baby news, to the show.

In a taxi confession video, Gillian spilled the beans to her fans: “I just want to say we have a problem – we got scammed. We had thought that we bought Taylor Swift tickets and it turned out the person was lying about having the tickets and just took our money.”

She continued, clearly miffed: “And there’s been one excuse after another and they get more fantastic as each day goes on the excuses.”

A distraught Afton chimed in: “We are devastated as we wanted to go to Taylor Swift’s concert on the 22nd June. We thought we had tickets, turns out it was all a facade and a lie just to take our money. Someone we actually knew.”

Gillian warned her followers: “Total scam. Please watch out.” A heartbroken Afton lamented: “Now it’s too late to go to her concert, we can’t get a ticket now. It’s sold out.”

Wrapping up their sad tale, Gillian said: “We’ve lost all our money and we need to get it back,” while Afton pleaded: “We need to get that money back and we would like to be able to go to Taylor Swift’s concert please.”

Taking to her social media platform, Afton uploaded a video with the caption: “Devastated is an understatement. Watch out for Taylor Swift SCAMMERS!! Have you been scammed out of tickets?”, inviting reactions from her followers. Skylar took to the comments section and posted: “So disappointed! They were supposed to be my birthday present too.”

Skylar works as an immigration law solicitor and prefers maintaining a private life away from the glitz and glamour. The 29-year-old beauty shocked fans by revealing her pregnancy at a fashion event, where she was spotted with her sister, Afton.

She posed for pictures, tenderly holding her baby bump. The exciting news of Skylar’s second child was brought to light by a source close to the McKeith family in discussion with The Mirror.

Afton, meanwhile, has opted for a career in the limelight, following the footsteps of their mum in showbiz. The youthful 24 year old, who had a relationship with Brooklyn Beckham during adolescence, honed her skills at Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts in London and Cours Florent in Paris.

Her talents extend to acting, singing, and dancing. Gossip has it that Afton has considered joining Love Island over the past couple of years, but so far, no appearances on the reality TV hit have been made.
