"I noticed Kira had deleted every picture and video of Bonnie-Leigh from our chats. I asked her why and she ignored me. I then asked the baby's dad 'Is this a doll?' and he said, 'Yes, it's a doll,'" McRobert said in a video statement filmed on 16 October.

"She even went to the extreme of texting him, saying, 'Bonnie-Leigh died'."

"I can't imagine how he must feel right now and everyone else who has been lied to for months and months. Everybody believed her. She had a gender reveal, she posted scan photos and even said the baby had a hole in its heart. Then she texted me saying the baby was born. We were all so happy," McRobert added.
