In this episode of Criminal Conversations, Jack and Emma delve into the disturbing case of Kirat Assi, a successful London-based radio host, who found herself at the heart of an elaborate catfishing scheme that turned her world upside down.

Known as the “Sweet Bobby” case, Kirat’s story reveals an intricate web of lies, manipulation, and betrayal by someone she trusted. For nearly a decade, Kirat believed she was in a committed relationship with Bobby, a man who didn’t actually exist.

Unpacking the layers of deceit and psychological control that ensnared her, Jack and Emma explore how Kirat’s life was manipulated and the toll it took on her mental and emotional well-being.
