I don’t know if it’s relevant or not, but the big attraction to Kik was always that it was “anonymous”. You don’t have to have a phone number to use it, just an email address. And to add someone, you only need to know their username.
A phone number can be added to an account after set up.
MWT did say it was her a few weeks ago, when the number was first released - interesting. First one who gets their head around, and comes up with answers around MWT's tweet gets a gold medal!
I’m so suspicious of this connection. Is MWT’s only evidence that the Kik user and CB’s ex are the same person that the two photos are similar? Because he treats it like a foregone conclusion that it is two photos of the same person. Might not be. Also, the photo someone uses as their profile on social media is certainly NOT guaranteed to be a pic of them!

"A main attraction of Kik that differentiates it from other messaging apps is its anonymity. To register for the Kik service, a user must enter a first and last name, e-mail address, and birth date (which, as of February 2016, must show that the user is at least 13 years old[32]), and select a username. The Kik registration process does not request or require the entry of a phone number (although the user has the option to enter one[32]), unlike some other messaging services that require a user to provide a functioning mobile phone number."
"users have screennames; the app doesn't share phone numbers or email addresses."
So how has the UK number been discovered I wonder?

Another very wise point, Ted! Only a pity because UK number may be useless.
I do know that while you aren’t *required* to add your number to a Kik account and they claim not to share your phone number, if you do decide to add your number you become instantly discoverable to any of your phone contacts that also have Kik installed until you disable the feature. Like as soon as you add your number, a phone contact that also has Kik can open the app and get a notification that one of their phone contacts is using the app and asks if the would like to connect. If that makes sense.

What relevance that has here though, if any, is what I don’t know.
Stripped of the Gold Medal then......![]()
The UK phone number is relevant.
