'I asked Catfish to find man I'd been talking to, and found a Pokemon character'

A divorcee hired MTV catfish experts to investigate her online lover and says it gave her the “tools she needs” to find her “happy ending” - despite being duped. Angela Morone, 42, was excited when a stranger called Gary Natsu, who claimed he was 35, reached out to her on Instagram in June 2022 - after she ended her 20-year marriage.

But the mum-of-three became concerned when 'Gary' didn’t show up for their first date and withheld information about himself. Angela got in touch with MTV Catfish and the team agreed to investigate ‘Gary’.

They discovered ‘Gary’ was in fact a 33-year-old man named Justin and the pair met and came face-to-face on the show. Justin had used the fake name Gary Natsu - a character from Pokemon - and lied about being "outgoing" but looked the same as his pictures, it was revealed.
