' Charlie ' Wragg was one of dozens of victims of an individual who adopted the identities of âCharlieâ and âAbiâ and sent flirtatious texts to politicians, journalists and advisers.

Wragg thought this might be the start of a relationship with someone he met on the gay dating app Grindr .

He ended up handing over around a dozen phone numbers, including for a number of MPs.

Will Wragg admitted chatting with someone on an app who asked him for the numbers of others.

The Westminster catfishing operation was sophisticated, and had been under way for months .

Wragg says he feels "great regret" and has "sought to apologise", adding: "I hope I can explain it in the context of the almost sense of control".
