00:00I have a chondroplasia, which is a form of dwarfism.
00:03Any time I'm out, I will be looking at people's phones to see if they're pointing towards me.
00:08I come across her modelling profile and I'm like, wow, she's beautiful.
00:11I like the look of that. I want to try and date her.
00:13There you are, beautiful. Okay, just throw yourself around a little bit.
00:17It's the first time I've ever seen a little person, especially a beautiful little person.
00:21And people will follow you and they will stalk you and they will try and touch you.
00:24It's almost like quite suffocating and horrendous, really.
00:27When you first like said I met somebody online on Facebook, what did you really, really think?
00:33Worried.
00:33I think it's easy to pretend you're something you're not.
00:41I've been a content creator for about four or five years now.
00:44And we thought moving over to like **** would help bring in an income.
00:49And it's not like I do the typical nudity or anything like that.
00:54It's just what I do on Instagram, but people pay for it.
00:57Hi, I'm Kate.
00:58I'm 22 and I'm a model, fashion blogger and student.
01:02I have a contraplasia, which is a form of dwarfism.
01:06There is a lot of people who **** with **** with dwarfism, obviously, as it's quite different.
01:12And the 2% of my following that will comment and I've got to be so careful to not interact
01:18with it.
01:18But at the same time, if I do not, I'll lose a following on ****.
01:25Guy is actually the one who suggested it.
01:27You ready, Kate?
01:29Yeah, just come in.
01:31I'm Guy, I'm 32.
01:32I'm a marine engineer, but I'm also a motorcycle racer.
01:35Let me know if it shows too much or not.
01:37You are a beautiful small girl.
01:39And it was like, you are quite different and you've got a unique selling point there.
01:42Alright?
01:43Yeah, that's fine.
01:44And there's potential there.
01:45Ready?
01:46Yep.
01:46We looked at **** and we saw like how much people were earning.
01:50And we thought, why not?
01:51Right, there you are.
01:52Beautiful.
01:52Okay, just throw yourself around a little bit.
01:59That was it.
02:00Yeah.
02:02Oh, they're good.
02:03Yeah?
02:03Yeah, I like those.
02:04I think that's one of my favourite shoots that we've done so far actually.
02:07Like the confidence is there.
02:09Yeah, you're like a beautiful lady there.
02:11I like it that you see yourself as a proper lady.
02:14You know, you're like dressing up.
02:15You know, when you're like dressing up.
02:16Everyone knows what they like, so I do prefer smaller women.
02:19I don't think I get one as small as Kate.
02:21You know, maybe 4 foot 6 or something.
02:23But yeah.
02:23I like to do things by extremes.
02:26So this was Kate's first **** tube.
02:29Which is not as easy to do as it sounds.
02:30Trying to find a basketball course at the Fitzer is very difficult.
02:33But I worked out that you could get old lady pop socks.
02:36Which just happened to be the right size for Kate's feet.
02:39So when I found that I was like, yes, we've got something here.
02:42There's always sort of a way through everything as a little person.
02:47Guy, how did you first meet Kate?
02:49So I was working in the south of France in a shipyard for a yacht.
02:53And I was in my bunk just scrolling through social media.
02:56And I came across her modelling profile.
02:59I was like, wow, she's beautiful.
03:01I like the look of that.
03:02I want to try and date her.
03:04And I sent you a friend request.
03:05And you accept the request eventually after like nine weeks.
03:09I thought it would be silly not to message him.
03:12He's very attractive.
03:13His profile picture at the time was him on a yacht.
03:17No top on.
03:18I looked at his profile four times to know he had a good history.
03:20And so I was like, yeah, why not?
03:21We went on a date in Bristol.
03:25And I stayed over overnight.
03:27So then it sort of just spiraled out of control from there.
03:30Some of my friends were worried that Guy was like exploiting me in some way or another.
03:35No way, he seems too good to be true.
03:37This photo on this yacht, they didn't believe me at all.
03:40We were quite concerned that he was like a Tinder swindler on Facebook.
03:44And because you're disabled, I think that some of them thought that they were better than you.
03:47Yeah.
03:48And it's not, you are a beautiful young woman.
03:49It's quite an obvious reason why I was molesting you.
03:52Yeah, there was definitely a lot of judgment on that end.
03:55Out of protectiveness, of course, but it's still a form of judgment.
03:59Yeah.
04:00There is this narrative that people like me cannot get Guy like Guy.
04:05So it was a bit bizarre for everybody.
04:10You got me pretty quickly.
04:12Yeah.
04:12Over nine months, I'd given you everything I offered.
04:15Yeah.
04:15The cottage.
04:16The dog.
04:16Living with me.
04:18Over nine months.
04:18I think Guy is probably my first love.
04:23But you've taken me seriously.
04:25You've done everything.
04:26That's ticked all my boxes.
04:27Whereas previously, my first long-term relationship didn't end that well.
04:34You keep going.
04:35Come on, boy.
04:36Keep on.
04:37Good.
04:39We're on display.
04:40And sometimes I have to stand up for you.
04:42And you get unusual people staring or taking pictures or following.
04:46And if you're going to date someone this morning, you've got to be, okay, that's going to happen.
04:49And sometimes you're going to have to tell someone to step back a bit, you know.
04:52So anytime I'm out, I will be looking at people's phones to see if they're pointing towards me.
04:59It makes you really paranoid.
05:01It's horrible.
05:02And it makes you feel like an animal.
05:03Yeah.
05:03It's almost like quite suffocating and horrendous, really, when I'm just trying to do something normal.
05:10But I've told people off before, haven't they, where you've been stalked and followed?
05:13Yeah.
05:13Like, he's very protective and he will just go up, no sort of qualms about it.
05:19It's, yeah, it's quite nice to have somebody be that protective.
05:24I've always tried to give Kate the confidence to dress, like, nicely and sexy in nice tight dresses
05:27and to dress up properly like you want to dress up, which can attract people who are just blown away
05:33when they see her.
05:34And people will follow you and they will stalk you and they will try and touch you.
05:38Oh, thank you.
05:39Sometimes it's the first time I've ever seen a little person, especially a beautiful little person.
05:44It's not just that you're small, you're small and you're beautiful.
05:46I think that's why the **** is so successful.
05:49My mum, bless her, she hasn't treated me any differently to my brother, but I know there is that extra
05:54layer of wanting to protect me.
05:57Hello.
05:58Hello, good afternoon.
06:00How are you?
06:01Well.
06:03Yeah.
06:03Mum, how are you?
06:04Good darling.
06:06My parents were very unsure.
06:08So, when you first heard I met somebody online on Facebook, what did you really, really think?
06:14Be honest.
06:15Worried.
06:16Yeah?
06:17Why so?
06:18We were concerned about his online relationship meetings or not being able to judge a person via text or you.
06:29Profile picture.
06:30I think it's easy to pretend you're something you're not.
06:34Obviously, before they met him they had the doubts.
06:37They were very wary.
06:38They had, like, researched his Facebook.
06:40They wanted to know.
06:42They researched my Facebook?
06:43Yeah, you knew they did.
06:45It wasn't about ten years ago and saw me drinking.
06:47They probably did.
06:47My mum loves a good Facebook store.
06:52Yeah, some interesting stuff there.
06:54Hello, family.
06:55Hi, guys.
06:56Hi, guys.
06:57So, what were your main concerns when you found out that a random seafarer had contacted her out the blue
07:01on Facebook?
07:03That she was going to disappear out to sea somewhere.
07:08I've got a little bit of trust in you and what you do, but...
07:13It might have been an okay thing, which, luckily enough, it turned out to be an okay thing.
07:19You just seemed like the boy next door.
07:23Yes.
07:24We had a good, positive feeling very soon after you walked into our house.
07:30All right.
07:30Thank you so much for your input.
07:32We love you.
07:33Love you very much.
07:34Bye.
07:34Love you too.
07:35Bye.
07:37Bye.
07:37Bye.
07:41Bye.
07:42Yep.
07:44So, how did you figure it out?
07:45Considering it was your father, pretty well.
07:47Yeah.
07:47Yeah, it was more important than with an average height person for them to know that I was okay
07:51and I was quite keen to come down and meet them as soon as possible so they knew I was
07:54genuine.
07:55You changed my life because you made me realise that I could have a romantic relationship and be in love
07:59with somebody.
08:00I did not expect the boy in love at all.
08:02And it just happened.
08:03It was like a fairytale story, wasn't it, really?
08:05I think you've helped me, sort of, life-wise.
08:09I feel like I could be a woman.
08:11You've really built my confidence.
08:13Good.
08:15Life's chaotic, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
08:18And, er, please don't change.
08:22I'm a bit emotional.
08:23That was true, wasn't it?
08:24Yeah.
08:26You said you're lucky.
08:27I mean, no, no, no.
08:28I can't believe I'm lucky.
08:29I am.
08:31That I've met you.
