"I've been completely scammed"

According to Yahoo Lifestyle, Olivia's trip abroad, where she intended to move permanently, took a horrible turn when she met a new man in December.

Olivia made a quick visit home after spending Christmas with her new lover and realised things weren't quite right when she arrived in the remote Scottish town, Fort William.

“I wasn't going to share this publicly, but I think it's important to remind other girls not to ignore red flags from the start because you so desperately want it to work with someone. I feel like I've been completely scammed and made a fool out of," Olivia told the publication.

“We spoke almost every day since we met at the start of the year and he told me he wanted me to meet his son once I got back to Scotland, told me he wanted to give things a real go between us and made me feel so wanted after everything I'd been through after MAFS – but it was all lies.”

Stranded in Scotland

According to the reality TV star, the relationship was looking promising but once her two girlfriends who she was travelling with left the UK and Olivia was by herself, things began to fizzle.

Despite her friends pointing out a few red flags they noticed when she introduced them, Olivia was convinced there was something real between them. That was until the communication turned one-sided and Olivia was left 'stranded' and alone.

“I had no idea what to do, or what I'd done wrong and a lady in a pub then approached me and asked if I was still seeing him. I told her 'ah that's a bit complicated' and she said: 'Don’t. He has a girlfriend. Has had a girlfriend the whole time. You can you can do better Pet',” she recalls.

While she planned to relocate for good, Olivia claims she will be returning to Australia after all.

“Part of me is embarrassed to be coming home after all of the articles made such a big deal out of me moving to the UK, but I'm proud of myself for at least giving it a go, being vulnerable and open to finding love again," she says.

"I just know next time I meet someone not to be so blinded by how much I want it to work."
