'Makosi conned me of £75,000'

Makosi

A POLISH worker has told how he lavished £75,000 of gifts on his Big Brother “fiancée” Makosi Musambasi only to be dumped as the cash ran out.


Tom Wojtkun says the reality TV star ditched him two weeks before their wedding and now believes she faked the romance.

He never even got to bed her – because she claimed sex before marriage was against her religious beliefs.

But she accepted presents including jewels, a £17,000 Mercedes and a £259,000 home, which is being repossessed.

Last night Tom, 34, said he felt like the world’s No 1 sucker and added: “I feel a fool. I know people will think I’m an idiot.”

But he confessed: “Part of me still loves her and wants to marry her.

“I’ve lost everything, but if she called and said ‘Let’s get married’, I would.”  
 
Market analyst Tom met Makosi, 27 – who appeared on BB three years ago – at the gay London nightclub Heaven in December 2006. “I got talking to her and after just a few minutes of chatting together, she suddenly kissed me,” he said.

“I never thought anyone like her would be interested in me. After all, she is a celebrity.”

Tom says they started dating soon afterwards and added: “She told me she was a new born Christian. 

“She said she could not have sex with a man or live with him until they were married.”

Within three weeks, smitten Tom says he proposed marriage and she accepted.

Tom, who earns around £30,000 a year, bought a £750 engagement ring, the Merc and expensive jewellery.

He took out a £259,000 mortgage on a three-bedroomed family home in Aylesbury, Bucks to be their marital home.  

Tom says Makosi moved in, but told him he had to stay at his rented flat in Wembley, North London.

Just two weeks before the wedding, Tom discovered that Makosi did not have the proper documentation to get wed.

He spent thousands of pounds more trying to solve the problems, but she then cancelled the wedding and went cold on him.

“I would text her and she never got back to me,” he said.

“I also got hit with £7,000 in parking and congestion charge fines which Makosi notched up in the Mercedes. Because the car was in my name I got stung with the penalties.

“The debts have mounted up – and now I am facing bankruptcy.”

When we called Makosi last night, she admitted going out with Tom but claimed: “I never loved him. I have never been in love.”   

And she added: “We were never engaged. If he says we were getting married, then that’s what he says.  People can say what they want.”

Asked about the gifts, she said: “I cannot comment.

“I cannot confirm anything.”

Tina, am shocked you would call a sister a tart!
If females like you can do this and get away with it, then it gives men the freedom to follow suit.
Nasty work, girlie. Us women supposed to stick together, no matter what.
But you will get your turn, so dont be jealous.
She says they never got engaged and he still has his so she can be trusted. And, he is getting back his house also. About the car? Its in his name isn't it?
Any girl who can still smile like this after being exploited by men and media is still a lady.

This guy is not even ashamed to reveal that he was trying to buy sex. Wake up, brother. You don't earn love by spending beyond your means. If you were worth her while she would still date you without buying the Merc etc.

These women that you are trying to date are gold-diggers. If your gold runs out, they will dig elsewhere. The sooner you wake up to this reality, the sooner your purse might recover.

And what would a genuine christian girl be doing in a gay pub?

Tom,

It was the jeweller who took you for a ride - not our Makosi.

Zimbabwe has its own diamonds. And emeralds. Our discerning Zimmie babes actually prefer a diamond field - if such a commodity was available to us dudes - but as you cant walk around with a diamond field on your finger our babes are forced to walk about without!

The setting alone probably cost you £500 out of the £750 (precious metals probably imported from Zimbabwe), because we also have platinum and silver lying on the ground in Zw that you can collect -if you know where to look.

I betcha the jeweller didnt give you 'jeck' when you return it, huh, but maybe I am wrong - provided its within the 14 days - you may have scored.

And didn't the press pay you out for this scoop?

Well Tom is a cheapskate. If my fiance bought a ring for 750 pounds I would have done the same. If he thought Makosi was a celebrity surely he should have known that no celebrity wants to live in a 259.000 house that is so mean of Tom what is wrong with Nottinghill or Chelsea. Makosi deserves better than that.
