Former One Direction singer Niall Horan has crushed radio host Fitzy after he revealed their three-year text message friendship was actually a hoax.
WATCH: Niall Horan reveals his three-year text message prank on Fitzy
Appearing on Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa show on Thursday, the ‘Nice to Meet Ya’ singer left his ‘pal’ Fitzy heartbroken as it was revealed the number Fitzy had been texting for three years wasn’t actually his.
Wippa delighted in unveiling how his co-host had been pranked live on air.
“One thing that happened last time we caught up is that we exchanged numbers,” Wippa said, “and Fitzy’s been bragging about it on air. Do you remember the text message, Niall?
“You probably don’t,” Wippa continued, “because it’s at this stage Fitzy we let you know that Niall’s been in on the joke. It’s not his number.”
Show producer Tommy eventually revealed Fitzy had been conned into texting a woman named Sophie in London, explaining, “We just needed someone who had a UK number”.
Screenshots of the embarrassing texts from 2017 show an excited Fitzy chatting to the person he thought was Niall about footy, Australia’s Marriage Equality vote and setting up a time to go for a pint.
“The whole time I was saying there’s something wrong about this,” Fitzy said when they revealed he hadn’t actually been texting Niall… ever.
And it sounds like they might never go for that “pint” as promised, as the wind-up may have broken Fitzy’s heart a little too much.
“You know what,” Fitz said after they revealed the entire thing had been a sham, “we’re not going for a pint now. You can go get stuffed.”
