Friends of a 'Mother on the Run' who fled the UK for a dream life in Thailand four years ago say they fear for her life after the new videos in question held her with her toddler in a filthy Thai prison.
Ellis Matthews, 32, who once appeared on reality show judge Rinder after having claimed to have wasted a fortune of £ 6 million, places Bikini-clad videos on TIKTOK that her life in South Asia is financed by £ 2,300 monthly British benefits.
But friends back in the UK say they didn't hear from her since she posted a video of her in a Thai prison 10 days ago.
Kama Clark, who after a meeting formed a close relationship with Ellis on the app, said her friend Gidsen began to post to claim benefits after losing her job as an English teacher because of abuse of online trolls.
Kama, 40, who was planning to fly to Thailand to visit Ellis, MailOnline said: 'I am really worried about her because she is the target of these trolls that a Thai person has paid to follow her and take pictures of her son.
'She is in a detention center, but it is not because of a visa – we believe it is because trolls have contacted the Thai authorities and said something.
“I fear for her life when she comes out without that little boy, really.”
