Mr Mateman wrote: ‘You were pigged’ and added two pigs and a laughing face emojis before adding, ‘It was all a joke.’
Heartbroken Miss Stevenson told the Sun: ‘Pulling a pig is where a guy tries to pull the fat, ugly girl. I felt sick.’
The bar supervisor said that, after the couple slept together during their Catalan break, she thought they had a ‘proper romance’ and was gutted it was all an abusive prank.

Mr Mateman swiftly blocked Miss Stevenson after his messages.
She said: ‘How could you be so cruel though!’
‘I was so upset I changed my flights and headed home the next morning.’
