Britain’s oldest first-time mother considered suicide after being conned out of nearly £160,000 by a fraudster she met on a lonely hearts website.

But after he failed to turn up to a series of meetings, she called her bank – only to be told that she had been scammed.

The sting has left her virtually destitute – and she still owes £32,000 to friends who lent her money to bankroll the bogus deal.
