How Cruel! Woman travels to meet lover only to be told it was a prank

A British woman who flew to Amsterdam to meet her lover - only to find she was the victim of a cruel 'pull a pig' prank - has received an outpouring of support.

Sophie Stevenson, 24, spent £350 on a 400-mile trip to meet her 21-year-old holiday romance Jesse Mateman, who she thought was interested in her.

But the bar supervisor was left devastated when he failed to show up at the airport then allegedly sent her a message saying: "You've been pigged..

Now, after bravely sharing her ordeal, she has received a host of supportive messages from members of the public, calling her "beautiful" and "gorgeous".

Sophie initially met Jesse Mateman while on holiday in Spain in August, The Sun reports. The pair stayed in touch after sleeping together..

The young woman believed they had a “proper romance ” and later decided to fork out hundreds of pounds to visit him in his hometown, Amsterdam .

However, after arriving at the airport, she was left stranded when Jesse apparently failed to show up - despite being in contact with her up until then.

She claims she only heard from him six hours later when she arrived at her hotel in the Dutch capital, and he text her to tell her she’d been ‘pigged’.

"You were pigged," the Dutchman's heartless message allegedly read, along with two pig face emojis. It added: “It was a joke.”.

'Pull a pig' pranks often see men compete to chat up who they deem to be the 'fattest' and 'most unattractive' woman on a night out.

“Pulling a pig is where a guy tries to pull the fat, ugly girl. I felt sick," Sophie, from Stoke, Staffordshire, told the newspaper.

The hurt young woman replied to the text: “How could you be so cruel though!”

She says her holiday lover then blocked her.
