Vanessa ended her 16-year engagement with Phats & Small musician Ben when his lover contacted her daughter on Christmas Day
Vanessa, 61, who was not involved with the crime, ended her 16-year engagement with Phats & Small musician Ben when his lover contacted her daughter on Christmas Day.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: “On Wednesday, 18 January and Thursday, 5 February police received reports of malicious communication in relation to messages and comments posted on the social media platforms of a man and a woman.
“A 34-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with the investigation and bailed until a date in July. The investigation is ongoing.”
Ben is starring in the immersive London show, Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding and she contacted his co-stars and friends on social media.
A source alleged: “She was harassing everyone he took a photo with on his Instagram including his castmates on Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding and his close circle of friends.”
They also claimed: “She rang him up to 100 times a day and sent him pictures of his new address – at the time, nobody knew where he lived.”
In a video shared to TikTok in April, Ben shared recordings of himself receiving a call from the woman.
He told fans in one video, “It’s Tuesday 6th April and this is what stalking sounds like. It’s a private number but I know who’s on the other end. It’s my stalker.”
After picking up the call, he continued: “She plays voice messages of me in the past and stuff like that and talks sometimes.”
His alleged stalker can be heard saying through the phone: “Not in the past, it’s now!”
Ben added: “Right. Can you hear her? OK, cool. So anyone who’s getting stuff about me on the internet, cos she’s going to all my followers and stuff like that saying stuff, it’s not true, it’s this person.
“She’s unhinged and the Metropolitan Police have taken their time and assure me they will get round to her, so I’m just waiting here to see if she’ll call again cos she always does.
“She’s called me about 10 times today… here she goes again,” he said as his ringtone sounded.
Vanessa was left heartbroken to discover singer Ben’s “double life” after coming across a string of emails.
He has since issued an apology and appealed for Vanessa to take him back – but she has yet to allow him to say sorry in person after she kicked him out of her £3.5million home.
Vanessa said she was “terribly humiliated” and devastated to learn about Ben‘s behaviour, which was uncovered due to vile comments left online.
Vanessa met Ben in 2005, having divorced in 2000 from surgeon Michael Kruer – with whom she shares daughters Allegra, 37, and Saskia, 34 — also following claims of cheating.
