A devastated woman spent £350 on a 400-mile trip to meet a lover – only to find out she was the victim of a cruel "pull a pig" prank.

Sophie Stevenson, 24, met 21-year-old Jesse Mateman while on holiday in Barcelona in August.

After staying in touch she flew out to see him in his home town of Amsterdam, the Sun reported.

The bar supervisor said she believed she was involved in a “proper romance" after pair slept together during the summer trip.

However he failed to turn up when she arrived at the airport and, hours later when she got to her hotel, she received a heartless text message.

Mateman wrote to her: "You were pigged" with two pig images and a laughing face emoji. He added: "It was all a joke."

Miss Stevenson, from Stoke, replied: "How could you be so cruel though!"

The heartbroken young woman told the Sun: “Pulling a pig is where a guy tries to pull the fat, ugly girl. I felt sick.”

She said: "I was so upset I changed my flights and headed home the next morning."
