On Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie and Michelle look at fraudsters and fakes… 


Have you watched Apple Cider Vinegar on Netflix? It’s based on the real-life story of cancer con woman, Belle Gibson, who lied about having cancer in order to be a successful Instagram influencer. Yes, you read that right – she told her followers she was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer and had only 4 months to live, but through clean eating and a vegetarian diet, she cured her cancer. Sounds good – EXCEPT IT WAS ALL A LIE. Listen now to discover the horrific depths of her con.


How far would you go to get attention? This week, Geordie follows with a look at two women who claim to be missing child Madeleine McCann. Of course, neither are Madeleine, but who would claim to be someone they’re not? What’s the tea? Listen now! Plus, Geordie looks at an Australian woman called Maria Williams who was about to board a plane to the UK when she was arrested for being a psychic con artist. It’s a story – with twists and turns! Listen to find out more!


So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about lollies, telly recs and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!
