A fantasist cancer faker who pocketed £50,000 of donations to fund a gambling addiction has today been jailed.
Nicole Elkabbas, 42, from Broadstairs, spent well-wishersâ money on jaunts abroad, hotels, restaurants and almost £4,000 on a box at Tottenham Hotspur after gambling £63,000 in a year.

The former Harrods fashion consultant baited almost 700 victims by posting a bogus picture of herself in a hospital bed on GoFundMe in 2017.
Handing Elkabbas a two years and nine months prison sentence, Judge Mark Weekes told the fraudster her allegations were pure wild fantasy and a deliberate deceit.
