I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star Gillian McKeith has been left devastated after she and her daughter were scammed out of tickets to see Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour
I’m A Celebrity’s Gillian McKeith and her daughters were left gutted after being conned out of Taylor Swift tickets, missing the much-anticipated gig and losing their dosh.
The telly health guru, aged 64, thought she’d scored seats for Taylor’s Eras Tour at Wembley Arena on June 22. But it turned out to be a cruel hoax, with the seller pocketing her cash instead. Gillian was planning to treat her daughters, Afton, 24, and birthday girl Skylar, 29, who’s just shared her baby news, to the show.
In a taxi confession video, Gillian spilled the beans to her fans: “I just want to say we have a problem – we got scammed. We had thought that we bought Taylor Swift tickets and it turned out the person was lying about having the tickets and just took our money.”
She continued, clearly miffed: “And there’s been one excuse after another and they get more fantastic as each day goes on the excuses.”

A distraught Afton chimed in: “We are devastated as we wanted to go to Taylor Swift’s concert on the 22nd June. We thought we had tickets, turns out it was all a facade and a lie just to take our money. Someone we actually knew.”
Gillian warned her followers: “Total scam. Please watch out.” A heartbroken Afton lamented: “Now it’s too late to go to her concert, we can’t get a ticket now. It’s sold out.”
Wrapping up their sad tale, Gillian said: “We’ve lost all our money and we need to get it back,” while Afton pleaded: “We need to get that money back and we would like to be able to go to Taylor Swift’s concert please.”

Have you been scammed out of tickets?”, inviting reactions from her followers. Skylar took to the comments section and posted: “So disappointed! They were supposed to be my birthday present too.”
She posed for pictures, tenderly holding her baby bump. The exciting news of Skylar’s second child was brought to light by a source close to the McKeith family in discussion with The Mirror.
