This Morning host Ben Shephard shocked over deceit
On This Morning today, Yvette Williams opened up about being scammed out of £30k by a “charming” conman – rapper Lydell Birch, aka Moka Blast.
It just makes my blood boil.
After a video that explained Yvette’s ordeal aired on screen, the show cut back to the studio – and Ben was not happy.
“It just makes my blood boil when you hear things like this,” Ben said.
He added: “It’s not the easiest thing to come out and be open and talk about something like this. Particularly when there is so much money involved.”
Talking to Cat and Ben, Yvette revealed she met Lydell on Tinder back in 2019 – with Yvette calling him “very, very attentive” and “charming”.
