A woman who was suspicious her online boyfriend of a year was Catfish because he never FaceTimed her.
Esther, 21, a fashion student from Nottingham appeared on MTV's Catfish UK last night, after her best friend Anita contacted the show with suspicious about Theo, who met Esther on Instagram.
Theo and Esther talk multiple times a day but have never FaceTimed or met in person, with Theo saying he can't meet because he's on business in Nigeria and ducking his girlfriend's calls.
'But he's always in a meeting, whenever I try to video-call he doesn't pick up. We were on the phone once and I tried to switch it to a FaceTime and he hung up.'
Esther explained she was head over heels for Theo, and that like her he was from the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria, but also lived in the UK.
Explaining her suspicions to hosts Oobah Butler and Julie Adenuga, Esther said: 'We've been speaking for about a year. He never fails to send me a good morning or good evening message.
'I find that so sweet. He's so thoughtful, he calls me Princess. I love it. I think he could be the one.
Despite the hosts saying Theo showed all the signs of a classic catfish, Esther was delighted to discover Theo was who he said he is but had kept it secret that he was a Prince because he wanted Esther to get to know him for him.

Is he that special type of “Nigerian Prince” who is always in need of a quick loan?
Not only that, but if Esther will send him her banking information, he will deposit millions in her account.
Can you hear the Wedding Bells or what ever they ring in Nigeria after she pays that small fee
Yeah. I think his royal highness sent me a personal email last week ....
He owes me money! š”
Is that slang for ugly?
I believe Iām related to this Prince! He emailed me last week and said a huge inherence is mine if I send 5K for bank transaction fees. I didnāt know I had black relatives!?!
āNigerian Princeā. Sure if you say so.
Wow. Somebody finally found the real Nigerian prince. LoL
It’s more like a con scheme where you get romantically involved with someone online and then leech money out of them.
Personal appearance not required.
They’ve been watching Coming to America II too many times.
Coming to America II was terrible, but I thought Coming to America was funny.
They can put bells on the necks of some white-throated guenons, (a primate that lives in trees in Nigeria and Benin.)
And replace doves with a small flock of rock firefinch birds, a species of estrildid finch found in central Nigeria and in Cameroon. I personally think they look like female cardinals.
I KNOW that guy!!
He emailed me once - to hold a lot of money for him while he got his affairs in order and could return to his country safely...
I loved that movie.
