Caroline Flack’s ex Andrew Brady jailed for harassing GB News presenter Dan Wootton
Caroline Flack’s ex fiancé Andrew Brady has been jailed for a campaign of harassment against GB News presenter Dan Wootton.
Brady, 31, of Cross Bedford Street, Sheffield, was jailed for four months….
…..At Sheffield Crown Court, the judge said Brady’s claims Mr Wootton was in some way responsible for Miss Flack’s death were “wholly irrational”.
He pointed out the former executive editor of The Sun was a friend of the Love Island presenter who died in 2020.
Earlier this week, Brady admitted harassment at a hearing.
Judge Richardson said he would be released in the “very near future”, given the time the defendant served on remand.
He imposed a 10-year restraining order banning Brady from contacting Mr Wootton, posting anything about him online, or going within 200 yards of his home or workplace.
Judge Richardson blasted the social media posts and messages about Mr Wootton as “utterly outrageous”.
He issued Brady a stark warning he could face more prison time for breaching the restraining order.
In a statement read to the court, Mr Wootton – who watched the proceedings by video link – said he “adored” the “late, great Caroline Flack”.
He added: “I only ever wrote stories about Caroline that she wanted to be published.”
The journalist added: “She knew I had her back.”
Mr Wootton said the late presenter called him after ending her relationship with The Apprentice star.
The broadcaster said Brady had his phone number following a trip to an O2 concert arranged by Miss Flack so he could meet the defendant because she knew Mr Wootton had reservations about their relationship.
Mr Wootton said in his statement: “The public should be aware that he (Brady) has no credibility to speak on behalf of Caroline.”
But he added: “I hope he gets the help he needs.”
The court was read a message sent to Mr Wootton by Miss Flack which said of Brady: “He is scary, Dan. Still scares me even when he’s in Australia.”
The court heard how Brady’s campaign began on the year’s anniversary of Miss Flack’s death and involved what the judge described as “deeply unpleasant nonsense” across a range of platforms.
……………
Hmmm, strange how these elusive ‘awful comments’ from Wootton weren’t brought up in the court case by Brady’s defence team….
