A woman who was catfished by a scammer pretending to be Gary Barlow met the singer - after he saw her story and reached out to help. Janet Smith, 62, believed she was talking to the Take That singer for about a week, after she added him as a friend on Facebook. But after the catfish bombarded her with compliments and told her he had "split up" she grew suspicious - and convinced the scammer to reveal their true identity. The cheat said he was actually a 24-year-old man from Nigeria and was sorry for lying to her - but told Janet he really did love her and asked for cash. The real Gary Barlow heard about what happened - and invited her to Take That's show Carrow Road gig in Norwich last night (28). And before the gig he met Janet - who gifted him a a box of Milk Tray "for the boys".
