My Bridesmaid Ruined My Wedding and Is Now in Prison | This Morning

When Kimberley Baker first met Helen Dove the pair quickly became best friends and Kimberley later asked Helen to be the head bridesmaid at her upcoming wedding. Helen said she would help Kimberley to secure the career that she always dreamed of. After taking voluntary redundancy from her job, Kimberley proceeded to spend 7 months working over email with her new ‘colleagues’. However, this was all a lie, Helen had manufactured this imaginary job and played the role of fictional employees - costing Kimberley upwards of £50,000 in debt and forcing her to cancel her wedding. Now that the person she once called her best friend is behind bars, Kimberley joins us alongside her fiancé Phillip to share her terrifying story of betrayal.

If the friend had a full-time job how did she have time to be around them every day? Who wants to be around non family everyday

[@marcussterdy1702]

Might not have had any family

[@Deleted11100]

How this ended up on national news is beyond me

[@jeffreygoggin2849]

I'm absolutely lost where did the 50 grand come in

[@serendipidus8482]

Yeah I can't see what the lady who scammed her got out of it?

[@Plxxew]

Sorry this isn’t a cautionary tale, she just was extremely naive. Why would anyone quit their job before they’ve had a solid start date established in writing from a traceable individual in a company?

[@Suziwellbeingchannel]

they prob had to save for it x

[@Plxxew]

@@Suziwellbeingchannel think you’ve replied to the wrong person

[@sofialovinglife597]

she was never a friend probably jealous! as adults we shouldn't have people to close to us, there are a lot of jealous people! at least they are still together

[@LorenzoSpoto]

Why would you give up a job without having a new job

[@Junitunes]

It sounds like she thought she had a job promised

[@jessicawatson3320]

Must have been very convincing, but I'd say I will apply on the council website for it and I'd find out that way if someone was lying about a job

[@fc7307]

@@Junitunes Until you have a signed offer with a start date there is no job.

[@AM-dk5ym]

I guess she was just desperate to leave that job, doubt having that fake offer was the only factor... but yeah bad decision. And I don't get why after about 3 months she didn't get her old job back or apply somewhere else

[@thetruthbetold3853]

She was made redundant!!!! Listen 👂!!!!!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@meoshie]

Second time I've restarted this as it's not making sense.......

[@rachnailedit]

I thought it was just me 🤔🤷‍♀️

[@beckymesterhazi4624]

Why would you believe it? No way would I give up a good job without a solid job offer with proof!! Never, They are very naive

[@shanadelahaye1213]

I'm lost. I don't understand this story.

[@traceyanderson4799]

I don't understand😊

[@carolinehoward180]

How have they lost £50K? Im confused 🤔

[@DefendYourGains]

They took loans out on credit cards to tie them along and also the wedding didn’t go ahead so they lost the amount they paid for it ( can be expensive) plus they lost the wage for all that time. 2k+ a month adds up quick. That becomes 4k+ a month if they are using credit cards to surplus that amount.

[@peggymitchell5021]

Well I can tell you I have never heard of interview being done throw emails it’s at least zoom call

[@Edenb32]

This girl will now be out & on the prowl 😢

[@maryannchaisson6742]

I don’t understand how the “friend” got her money??? Please explain more, know this was a scam, but need more to explain & help others!?🇨🇦🤔🤔🇨🇦

[@JackieSharpe-c4t]

Fancy giving anyone you don't know very well we hear this all the time

[@tobymccoconut]

One and a half million views with 3 comments?

[@annaa6259]

Wow I heard of love rats but thats a friend rat. Glad she raise awareness.

[@Awarebynature]

Why do these people do these crazy things?!

[@frankiefranfraser]

I don't get it? What happened? Was she taking money from them? How did they lose £50,000. From quitting job? Not earning income?

[@AM-dk5ym]

yes they said she didn't financially gain from it. The loss was simply not having a job for 7 plus months

[@bethanygibson5092]

She tricked them into thinking they got a job for 7 months because she was jealous of their life and happiness. That was the gain she got. To see them suffer. She didn't gain financially from it

[@frankiefranfraser]

@bethanygibson5092 crazy! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Pointless!! Poor woman would have had no idea! Crazy! And heart breaking 💔

[@bethanygibson5092]

[@jessayo2754]

Wow this is awful :( hope they recover

[@LorenzoSpoto]

Why does the partner keep interrupting

[@AM-dk5ym]

extroverts, they can't contain themselves haha

[@lilmizeezee8350]

His part of it...did they just con her and his explaining ....relax😂😂

[@nicole1204]

Lots of comments say they don't understand the story (like where did the 50k go?)... Perhaps we'd understand what happened if the hosts would let the guests speak. Anyone else notice the hosts told most of the story and constantly cut off the guests when they were talking?!

[@littlebunnybunny]

whats the poibt of this story..she lied about a job🤔🤔🤔

[@Dalilymoll]

Don't get it !!

[@jutjet4011]

This was a because she scammed them before they could buy anything !

[@TheGreatBaranski]

Bit of a non-story.

[@david-pb4bi]

They are obviously short of money, the poor bloke is wearing his twelve year olds shirt.

[@mwandwelubinda]

😂

[@Lubomishka92]

This is all a bit ironic for Holly, a BEST friend deceiving you!

[@ROUBIX]

It's really not the same at all.

[@Suziwellbeingchannel]

[@Lucy23133]

[@Suziwellbeingchannel]

someone tryed being nice to me then we went on hols me and my husband and someone tryed to say i conned setting them up with gambling ticket was a longstory. i didnt do nothing wrong they were trying to find somebody to bully as the person saying i done it was prob in money trouble and needed to get out as in she was going gambling and got caught by bf and then decieded to get me into i was well shocked

[@FunnyCoastline-wx7rr]

[@andyearl6784]

Hey wrinkles your boyfriend is the biggest potato to show his ten year olds hair cut on tv 😅

[@david-pb4bi]

And he is wearing his shirt.

[@Jadeygirllisa1985]

They had 50 thousand to spend on a wedding but didn’t have money for Christmas presents? Get real lol ! 🙃

[@rmw9130]

I think they were saying they had lost about 50k from the months of lost work from her con artist friend pretending their was a job and keeping the ruse going for so long. Not that she took 50k. They are trying to get on their feet again so a wedding is put off for now.

[@AmyNaglowsky]

yo . They were lied to and got money stole and they're wedding was ruined

[@Kevinyates247Yatesy]

What a dumb comment lol the two people was conned and lost everything, so yeah they would of had the wedding planned and paid but couldn't afford Christmas cos they was loosing all this money, you need to get real lol 🤣

[@markmcmahon4422]

I think they were duped into her giving up her job, which in turn left her losing income and getting into debt elsewhere to cover expenses. Don’t think they spent £50K on a wedding, I think they had to cancel because she was left with no income
