From a man with triple lives to fake family deaths, the lies told by seemingly devoted partners in this series are shocking. But this is more than true crime entertainment \u2013 it is an enraged warning for other victims<\/p>\n
A model turned DJ, Liv Nervo had forged an enviable career travelling the world with her sister and musical collaborator, Mim. Old cliches about being a strong, independent woman and not needing a man aside, it\u2019s clear that Liv already had a fantastic life before she met her former partner, Matthew. A successful businessman, their paths first crossed when she played a private party on Richard Branson\u2019s Necker Island. \u201cI thought I had found the best guy in the world,\u201d she says. \u201cBut it was all a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n
So begins the second series of Love Cheats, a stark and shocking true-crime show about people who think they\u2019ve found the love of their life but are instead being pulled into audacious romance scams. Series one featured a fraudster impersonating a member of the nobility while leaving their victims to foot the bill for their lavish life, and another faking terminal cancer. Series two keeps the bar for grim deception high, beginning with Liv\u2019s whirlwind romance with Matthew, who was desperate to have a family with her. Mim was equally taken in by her sister\u2019s devoted new partner, who had made his fortune selling honey but wasn\u2019t a fusty corporate type. \u201c[Liv] used to date men with a briefcase,\u201d she clarifies. \u201cI would never<\/em> date a man with a briefcase!\u201d<\/p>\n
