A woman who was accused of faking a four-year relationship by Photoshopping her face into a stranger's social media pictures says she has been set up and is happily in a real relationship.
Jill Sharp was accused of taking pictures from social media of a man she'd never met called Graham McQuet and doctoring the images so she could pretend they were a couple.
But today, speaking at her home, Ms Sharp, 31, flatly denied any wrongdoing, saying the whole thing 'simply isn't true’ and that the photos had been put online by someone else.
Police have investigated the allegations and say there is ‘no criminality’ and are taking no further action.
Jill Sharp was accused of taking pictures of a man she'd never met called Graham McQuet (right, with his fiancee) on social media and doctoring the images so she could pretend they were a couple. But she said the images (one of which is left) was put online by someone else
She said: 'If I had been stalking someone for four years they surely would have known - but the bottom line is that I haven't.
'Why would I have a boyfriend that all my friends meet regularly but try and say I'm going out with someone else? None of this makes sense.
'I live a quiet life and have no interest in leading any kind of double life. I'm not even on Twitter and always use Facebook so I'm just in disbelief at it all.
'This story isn't true and I want everyone to know that. I have no reason to lead a double life.'
According to the Daily Record, pictures of Mr McQuet were posted on a Twitter account which appeared to be connected to Ms Sharp.
One photograph showed her smiling happily alongside him, while another post showed pictures of them on a day out at Westminster Abbey in London.
But the pictures were faked and the pair had never met.
At the same time, messages were sent from that account to another profile which seemed to belong to Mr McQuet.
But, according to the paper, Mr McQuet had not set up the account, already had a fiancee named Marianne Stirling and did not know who Ms Sharp was.
Friends accused Sharp of sending romantic messages between the two accounts and posting the fake photographs of her she and Mr McQuet in London together.
Ms Sharp said that fake photographs of her and Mr McQuet on a romantic weekend in London together (pictured) were posted from fake accounts by someone else
Mr McQuet has declined to comment but he previously tweeted: 'I'm apparently getting married to her in June? First I knew'
His fiancee posted that Mr McQuet had been connected to a fake account and that he did not know Ms Sharp (pictured)
But today Ms Sharp said she had not set up the accounts and had not sent the messages.
She insisted that the photographs had been put on Twitter by someone else trying to frame her.
Referring to the pictures which falsely show Ms Sharp and Mr McQuet together in London, she wrote: 'Clearly they've followed my movements online and matched them up with his.
'I was down in London in December with my own boyfriend for the Christmas markets and wasn't there to follow in anyone's footsteps.'
She added: 'If I ever met this Graham then I'd apologise because of all of this. Somebody is clearly out to cause chaos in my life and has set me up by creating these fake profiles.
'I can't be 100% sure who it is that is behind this but I have a fair idea. It would just be difficult to prove it now the accounts have been deleted.'
Mr McQuet has declined to comment but tweeted: 'I'm apparently getting married to her in June? First I knew.'
Ms Stirling posted that Mr McQuet had been connected to a fake account and that he did not know Ms Sharp.
Cumbernauld Police investigated the allegations. A spokesman said: 'Following further inquiries, no criminality has been established and no further police action is to be taken.'
