Overview
- Kira Cousins, 22, from Airdrie, said she fabricated the pregnancy and birth and acknowledged using a doll she presented as a daughter named Bonnie‑Leigh.
- She had shared scans, a gender‑reveal video and hospital claims before announcing a solo birth on October 10 and a 5lb 4oz newborn.
- Relatives realised the baby was a reborn doll after her mother found it in a bedroom, with screenshots later circulating that appeared to show Kira telling the alleged father the baby had died.
- In an online apology, she wrote that there was no baby and that she faked scans and a birth story, adding she plans to explain further during today’s Instagram Live.
- Friends and family report emotional fallout after giving gifts including a £1,000 pram, and a friend’s video detailing concerns helped bring the deception to light.
