A YouTube star who previously announced that he was to father twins has revealed that the woman involved faked her pregnancy.

Hobbie Stuart, 27, told his 391,000 subscribers that he was to become a dad to twins in December last year.

And, although he and the girl were not an item, he was sure that they would bring up the children together.

However, in what he describes as the “hardest and most emotionally confusing video” he’s ever had to make, Stuart has now revealed that the pregnancy was not genuine.

In the heart wrenching video, Stuart explains how excited he was to become a dad.

But, as the weeks went on the woman involved continued to make excuses as to why he couldn’t attend scans, claiming that they were cancelled or re-scheduled.

With no reason to doubt her, Stuart says he got by knowing that when the children were here he would no doubt play a big part in their lives.

The couple continued to keep in regular contact as they tried to figure out how things would work once the babies arrived and to discuss name ideas.

She even met his family so they could get to know each other and Stuart describes how she had a visible bump.

Due to welcome the babies on January 2 by C-section, Stuart recalls becoming confused when he was unable to reach the mother-to-be by phone.

In a panic, he rushed to Chelsea & Westminster Hospital but they had no record of her; neither did any other nearby hospitals.

“At this point I thought she didn’t want me at the birth and I couldn’t get my head around why she would have changed her mind when she knew how important it was to me,” he said in the video titled, My children don’t exist.

“That was the only possible explanation. That or something bad had happened.”

It wasn’t until he filed a missing person’s report and discovered that she had lies about the death of both her parents that the truth began to unravel.

After hours of searching, she was found safe and well later that night by police and told Stuart by text that she had gone into labour. She claimed that one baby was fine, but the other was in intensive care.

However, after refusing to let him see the children it unfolded that there had never been a pregnancy in the first place.

Her father confirmed that she wasn’t expecting and a friend discovered that the scans she had sent him were copied from an American’s woman Flickr account.

“Everything she had told me and everything I thought was happening for the last eight months was a lie.

“In my mind I was preparing to be a dad and then from one day to the next I found out it was all over.”

He also revealed that since the truth came out she has told him that the lies were a result of grief from miscarrying their twins in September.

However, she also gone on to post pictures of someone else's baby on her Instagram Stories and posted on gossip websites to say that she is living in LA with their one surviving child.

Despite everything, the heartbroken YouTuber has said that he doesn’t want people to reveal her identity and that he hopes she can find a way to rebuild her life.
