'A rake of you messaged me today telling me they're putting up, I don't know, bits and bobs, nothing harmful, but it's also not me.' Kayleigh added that two journalists had contacted her about a post that the fraudster made saying that she was changing careers, adding that she hadn't a clue what they were talking about.
