Pregnant 'French' tourist who appealed to find one-night-stand dad, revealed as hoax

The woman who captured hearts by launching a moving video appeal to find the father of her unborn child has revealed it was a hoax. Filmed by the beach at Mooloolaba, on Australia's sunshine coast, Natalie Amyot asked social media to help her find "the really cute guy" she met at a party on the last night of her holiday.

But a day after the video was released, another clip was uploaded to her YouTube channel in which she admitted the appeal was a marketing ploy set up by Sunny Coast Social Media in Queensland.

 
The new clip opens with the 26-year-old announcing: "I found him", before stepping aside for the social media company's owner Andy Sellar.

In the newly uploaded “I found him” video, Natalie blows her cover and introduces viral video marketer Andy Sellar. The man discloses to the public that Natalie did not really fall pregnant during a one night stand in Mooloolaba, but was just an actress hired for their video marketing plan to put Mooloolaba on the map.

Sellar says he knows some people will be upset to learn that the whole thing was a marketing ploy, but says no one should be mad at “Natalie” as she was just an actress and he was the one handling all of the social media accounts and responses.

Sellar says that the video was created to start dialogue about Mooloolaba.

"We do viral videos for businesses. Now I know there is going to be a lot of you that are upset by this... maybe not too happy.
"But this young lady was just a volunteer in this. I did all the Facebook, the YouTube, I did all the answering. She had nothing to do with that, she literally was just an actress."
"We just wanted to put Mooloolaba on the map because it's a wonderful place. So thank you for watching and we are going to do many, many more videos like this," he explained.
