Just when we thought we had seen it all, hit TV confessions show Nyan'Nyan left us dizzy with a feature on a couple that had never met in person before but were now ready to have a baby.

Nthabiseng had met Tebogo on Facebook and started chatting to him. They would occasionally talk on the phone but they never met face to face. It was going well until a month into the relationship Tebogo asked sis to have a baby with him.

Sis told him that she was on contraceptives and he ran for the hills.

Remember: at this point they still haven't even met in person.

Undefeated, Nthabiseng created a new Facebook profile using her cousin's pictures and sent a friend request.

A short while later...

Tebogo was now in a relationship with "Maletsatsi" and she was sending him R1,000 a month allowance plus data and airtime.

When asked why she "loved" him so much, sis said she liked his stature, the way he walked and his voice. She said that even the fact that Tebogo didn't have a job was not an issue.

She said that she was now ready to have his babies.

When the couple finally met on the show, Tebogo said he knew was being catfished and was also playing along.

He said that he didn't mind being in a relationship and denied he was only keen because of the allowance.

It was a mess and social media was in train wreck mode as fans reacted to the events unfolding.
