A so-called young "mom” in Scotland has admitted to bizarrely faking her entire pregnancy — and even trying to pass off a silicone doll as her newborn.

Kira Cousins, 22, issued a groveling apology on Tuesday after her massive hoax was uncovered and started spreading rapidly across social media.

“I’m so sorry,” she wrote in a now-deleted Instagram story obtained by the Daily Record.

“I wasn’t pregnant. There was no baby. I made it up and kept it going way too far. I faked scans, messages, a whole birth story, and acted like a doll was a real baby.”

Cousins had managed to fool her loved ones — including who she claimed was the baby’s father — into believing she was pregnant and had given birth to a little girl, who she named Bonnie-Leigh Joyce, on Oct. 10.

Cousins sported a growing prosthetic bump to fuel the ruse and held a lavish gender reveal party in the weeks before the “birth.”

The wild sham came crashing down, though, when her mom found the doll in her bedroom last week.

Just prior to coming clean, Cousins went as far as telling the supposed father that their newborn had died.

The story quickly spilled out on social media as friends and loved ones branded her a “serial liar.”

Some loved ones have since claimed they started becoming suspicious when no one had heard the baby cry and that Cousins wouldn’t let anyone touch the newborn.

In her bizarre apology, Cousins defended those she’d fooled into believing the doll was actually real.

“In everyone else’s defense, the doll could move. You could change the facial features, arms and legs,” she said.

“You could feed the doll making it ‘pee or poo’. So when no one is close to the doll, it does look real. No one was looking at my ‘baby’ expecting it to be a doll.”

Everything and everyone seems so dull. Everyone keeps to themselves mostly it seems. Any social gatherings seem brief and short. I can tell people seem bogged down.

You go out places now, and people are in and out. Everything is business with no chatter.

I was in the grocery store long ago and mentioned this to a cashier that people don't like to openly talk anymore. She thought about it and agreed.

I was also at the grocery store a few days ago and some child seated in a cart dropped his boxed juice on the ground. I was being nice and picked it up. I went "uh oh, did you drop something?" and handed it back. The mom just had this straight face and was like "thanks". She seemed uncomfortable of my nice gesture.

My life specifically, I am a newlywed and my wife is just so tired and antisocial after work. On her 2 days off, she just likes to stay inside and sleep. I am disabled and have been a hermit myself, although I have been working on a web project and have some stressors too. Everything is just so expensive and you can smell the greed and selfishness everywhere.
