I fell in love with a US prison inmate I spotted on TikTok – I’ve always liked bad lads but we’ve never even met
A WOMAN has told how she fell in love with a US prisoner – after ‘meeting him’ on TikTok.
Mum-of-two Chelsea Birkett, 29, from Aberdeen, Scotland, revealed how she met Levi Ordendor, 28, on the social media app after stumbling across his profile via a site called Prison Friendships.
The mature student, speaking to the Mirror’s Kate Graham, said seeing him sparked an immediate attraction so she reached out.
“I’ve always liked bad boys. I’m drawn to the excitement,” she admitted.
But Levi lives in Idaho, USA (and is, of course, in prison) so it was a while until she learnt if he would respond.
Happily he did and the pair got talking.

They spoke via the prison phone, but have been unable to meet in person. However, he’s recruited his mum to send her cute gifts including a teddy.
And after a while, realising they were hitting it off, they agreed to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
Chelsea said: “Two weeks after we connected, he said he’d stopped messaging other women. We were exclusive.
“’Wow’,” I thought… ‘I’ve just agreed to be a prisoner’s girlfriend’.”
