The second series of the true-crime show 'Love Cheats' has begun, focusing on individuals who have been victims of romance scams. The series explores various deceptions, including a case where a man led a "triple life" and another involving a partner who faked family deaths and a heart condition.
A notable case in the series is that of Liv Nervo, a model and DJ, who discovered her former partner, Matthew, was leading a triple life after she became pregnant. Nervo is now pursuing legal action against Matthew and has become an advocate against reproductive coercion, working with the Good Law Project.
Labour MP Natalie Fleet has raised the issue of reproductive coercion in parliament, mentioning Liv Nervo by name. The series also features Fiona Mulkerrins-Dixon, whose former partner, Ben Millin, was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 34 months in prison, serving five.
