A selection of the texts Ivonne sent to friends and family after apparently being abducted
She was found horrifically injured and in a coma days after crossing paths with some men who posed as producers and promised to make the friends into stars.
Ivonne died in a Cairo hospital five days later on May 4, whilst Estefania made it back safely to the hotel.
Now, horrifying messages she sent to her parents in Colombia have emerged, tracking her realisation that she was in grave danger.
One chilling text referring to "The Serbian" said: "He's scaring me."

Another read: "They want to do something to me. They want to kidnap me."
In a third she begged: "Please come with the police. Please come urgently."
She also told her parents: "They don't want to make us a band," revealing that the men had lured the friends in with false promises.
Ivonne flew into Cairo on April 24, excited for the festival to mark her birthday.
Pictures and videos posted to her social media showed Ivonne enjoying herself in the sun.
The two women were reportedly invited to an after-party on April 27 by somebody called Jessi Morena, who they met at the festival.

A snap shows the pair decked out in Egyptian attire alongside Jessi, in front of a large crowd of revellers.
All went smoothly and the pair partied the night away - until they met two unidentified men.
It was at this point that Ivonne sent out the distress signals.
Estefania ended up back at the room, unharmed, but without Ivonne.

Her family told Colombian press: "Neither her family nor her friends knew she was missing until Tuesday, April 30, when Estefanía, her travelling companion, contacted us."
After hearing of her disappearance, Ivonne's friends and family made a series of frantic calls to Cairo hospitals to locate her.
In a conversation later shared by Ivonne's relatives, Estefanía wrote: "She hasn't woken up. They found her several days ago.
"She fell from a great height and I wasn't there; she was with other people at the time."
She died five days after her loved ones found her in hospital - never recovering consciousness.
Cairo police are quizzing Estefania, who apparently refused to tell Ivonne's family what had happened to her.
They are also seeking a man called Jessi Escobar, a friend the women are said to have met locally, and the two men she introduced them to.
One relative, Alexandra Marin, told Colombian media: "We had a hard time finding the hospital due to language barriers and the lack of cooperation from the people involved."
Ivonne's family has launched a GoFundMe appeal to help them bring back her body and fund the legal expenses to investigate her death.

I was 15 when my nude pics were leaked – grown men sent them around at the football club & everyone blamed ME
NOT KIDDING I was 15 when my nude pics were leaked – grown men sent them around at the football club & everyone blamed ME Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LIKE many young girls, Jess Davies wanted to impress her school crush and decided to send him an explicit photo of herself. Little did the 15-year-old know that he would send it around the school and she would become a victim of image abuse. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Jess Davies revealed her nude photo was leaked at just 15-years-old Credit: Instagram/jessdavies "That image got bluetoothed around my school, and then it got shared around my hometown, which was a small hometown in Wales, everyone knows everyone," she explained on the Should I Delete That podcast. Image-based sexual abuse is a criminal offence, it's when someone takes, shares, or threatens to share sexually explicit images or videos of a person without their knowledge or consent, and with the aim of causing them distress or harm. This can include digitally altered images, also known as 'deepfakes' - something Jess has gone on to lobby the government to include in the Online Harms Safety Bill. Now 32, Jess has opened up about the trauma it caused and more shockingly, how she was blamed for the abuse. She revealed that once the photo had circulated in her hometown, it was then shared to grown adult men on the local football team. Instead of seeing Jess as a victim, whose private photo was shared without her consent, people blamed her. "Everyone knew my age because it was a small town, and yet, the whole narrative was around how it was my fault," Jess added. "That I shouldn't have sent it, what kind of girl are you? "There was never any conversation around why are men in their twenties and thirties passing around a child's image?" Jess was left as a teenage girl worrying about how to navigate the situation, and she decided she had to laugh it off. 2 Now, she advocates for sexual abuse victims Credit: Instagram/jessdavies Vicky Pattison shares deepfake porn clip of herself as she warns of dangers on C4 doc She revealed that boys in year 7 would run up and ask for a hug as they had seen the image as well. "I was laughing but secretly, this was humiliating," she said. In the end, her parents also found out about the image, as her nan was told about it from one of the men on the football team, where the image was being circulated. Now, as Jess has gotten older, she realises that the way people treated her for the image was not okay and that she was held more accountable than the grown men sharing the image. It has now led Jess to become an advocate for female rights and sexual abuse. Her BBC documentary 'Deepfake Porn: Could You Be Next' was used to lobby the UK government to criminalise deepfake porn. Jess also has a new book, No One Wants To See Your Dick, a guide for surviving the digital age to help us understand and tackle online misogyny and question society's understanding of consent.

EuroMillions rolls over AGAIN as UK's biggest prize at £208m goes unclaimed – everything you need to know for next draw
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE massive EuroMillions jackpot prize of £208million will roll over again after the money went unclaimed. While the hefty sum wasn't won players should still check their tickets to see if they can claim a smaller chunk of the total prize money on offer. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 An anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195 million on July 19, 2022 Credit: Alamy The five main numbers from the draw on Tuesday were 19, 36, 39, 40 and 45 and the two lucky stars were 5 and 6. Four lucky players matched the five main and one star, but nobody matched all five and both the lucky stars. The jackpot prize had already been rolled over previously after the last draw failed to find a winner. The eye-watering sum is the largest prize the UK has seen. Read More on the Lottery NO LUCK! EuroMillions jackpot rolls over AGAIN as UK's biggest ever prize goes unclaimed Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at Allwyn, said previously: "Tuesday sees the £208 million EuroMillions jackpot still up for grabs. "A win of this magnitude would create the biggest National Lottery winner this country has ever seen - making a single UK winner instantly richer than the likes of Dua Lipa and Harry Kane while also landing them at the number one spot on the National Lottery's biggest wins list. "The EuroMillions jackpot is now capped, so any money that would have gone into increasing the jackpot now boosts prizes in the next winning prize tier, meaning that we could see multiple UK players banking huge prizes for matching just the five main numbers and one Lucky Star." In the previous week's draw the main EuroMillions winning numbers were 20, 21, 29, 30, 35 and the Lucky Stars were 02, 12. One UK ticket-holder became a millionaire after matching five main numbers and one Lucky Star, winning £2.02million. No players won the £500,000 Thunderball jackpot by matching the five Thunderball numbers, 03, 14, 31, 32, 34, and the Thunderball number 06. EuroMillions jackpot winner Frances Connolly reveals surprising first item she bought with £114m jackpot It comes after an anonymous UK ticket holder won the existing record jackpot of £195million on July 19 2022. Just two months earlier, Joe and Jess Thwaite, from Gloucester, bagged £184,262,899 with a Lucky Dip ticket for the draw on May 10. The UK's third biggest win came after an anonymous ticket-holder scooped the £177million jackpot on November 26 last year. It came after 11 millionaires were made on the National Lottery draw in just one week in 2024. One lucky Brit won a cool £33million with their Euromillions ticket. Another ticket, which was snagged in the UK, matched all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars. It came just weeks after two players from the same county scooped £1m each. This year, the largest win was seen in January with £83million. A previous EuroMillions lottery winner, who scooped an eye-watering £107million jackpot, has revealed why he went public with the news. Neil Trotter bagged the whopping prize money and was faced with a huge decision whether or not to remain anonymous. The 45-year-old chose to splash the cash and filled his driveway with a Jaguar and a Porsche - before upgrading their parking spaces to a luxury mansion. But, Neil explained it can be tricky to go public because of pressure to provide people with money. However, he was overjoyed to buy his sister a house, and help out family and friends privately. He told the BBC: "It was quite tricky but I don't really see that there's any option [other] than to go public. "If you want to live the dream - which is have the house, the money and spend it, you've got to go public. "People have said in the past they would hide the money, I think £170million is going to be impossible to hide. "This is the lake that I bought and the big house and I'm living my dream." But he did previously admit he has been hounded by people making up claims to snap up his cash. He said: "I have had loads of people contact me on Facebook, I've probably got about four million kids in this country. "Everyone wants a bit of money." Elsewhere, a lucky couple thought they'd only bagged £2.60 on the lottery - but soon discovered they had scooped the £61million jackpot. Richard and Debbie Nuttall, both 54, from Colne, Lancashire, took home the life-changing sum in the EuroMillions draw. The couple were enjoying a holiday in Fuerteventura, celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, when they discovered the big win. Richard revealed they originally thought they had won £2.60, but then received another email telling the pair to check their account. 'I thought it was odd and there must be a glitch in the system to get a duplicate email but I logged in again to my National Lottery account to check," he explained. "We were totally stunned, it said we had won over £61million," said the winner.

While he did turn up for the date, Emmy obviously didn't but he did send him a savage message from her new persona. "When he did, I texted and said I saw him but left because I thought he was too ugly," she said. But her revenge plot didn't end there.

People were quick to praise her revenge tactic with some claiming she should do it again. Four red flags your partner is cheating Private Investigator Aaron Bond from BondRees revealed four warning signs your partner might be cheating. They start to take their phone everywhere with them In close relationships, it's normal to know each other's passwords and use each other's phones, if their phone habits change then they may be hiding something. Aaron says: "If your partner starts changing their passwords, starts taking their phone everywhere with them, even around the house or they become defensive when you ask to use their phone it could be a sign of them not being faithful." "You should also look at how they place their phone down when not in use. If they face the phone with the screen facing down, then they could be hiding something." They start telling you less about their day When partners cheat they can start to avoid you, this could be down to them feeling guilty or because it makes it easier for them to lie to you. "If you feel like your partner has suddenly begun to avoid you and they don't want to do things with you any more or they stop telling you about their day then this is another red flag." "Partners often avoid their spouses or tell them less about their day because cheating can be tough, remembering all of your lies is impossible and it's an easy way to get caught out," says Aaron. Their libido changes Your partner's libido can change for a range of reasons so it may not be a sure sign of cheating but it can be a red flag according to Aaron. Aaron says: "Cheaters often have less sex at home because they are cheating, but on occasions, they may also have more sex at home, this is because they feel guilty and use this increase in sex to hide their cheating. You may also find that your partner will start to introduce new things into your sex life that weren't there before." They become negative towards you Cheaters know that cheating is wrong and to them, it will feel good, this can cause tension and anxiety within themselves which they will need to justify. "To get rid of the tension they feel inside they will try to convince themselves that you are the problem and they will become critical of you out of nowhere. Maybe you haven't walked the dog that day, put the dishes away or read a book to your children before bedtime. A small problem like this can now feel like a big deal and if you experience this your partner could be cheating," warns Aaron. One person wrote: "Big fan of your work." Another commented: 'Him losing twice the same night is gold." "Ma'am you are a psychological genius," penned a third. "He's still thinking about that to this day. In fact his new girlfirend has to remind him he's beautiful once a week." Meanwhile a fourth said: "He was trying to play checkers but BABYYY you were playing CHESS." "Not gonna lie that's a pretty solid way of handling that,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'Girl, if you don't catfish him every year like it's a nationally observed holiday, what are you doing with your life? Get him again."
