Andrew Brady, 31, has been jailed for four months after he admitted to harassing GB News presenter, Dan Wootton, between February and April last year. The former fiancé of Caroline Flack, pled guilty to harassing the journalist in the aftermath of Caroline’s death.
The court heard how Brady began harassing Mr Wootton around a year after Caroline died in February 2020.
According to reports, prosecutor Laura Marshall said: “He told his sister that he had been writing down things about his life and relationship with Ms Flack and he might turn it into a book.
“There were messages sent to the complainant, ‘I want to be on your podcast, an interview, not a tell-all. Sunday Sun gets exclusive’.
“The prosecution says he couldn’t sell his stories because nobody was prepared to buy them, and so instead he decided to take his anger out on people he blamed for that.”

Ms Marshall said Brady began to attack Dan via social media, through online blogs and sent voice notes to his personal phone.
She continued: “He would call him extremely derogatory terms, and on one Instagram message stated he felt like ‘getting rid of him once and for all’.”
In one voicemail message, Ms Marshall said Brady was heard telling Wootton he is “an evil man who needs to be dealt with”, later calling him a “murdering little c**t”.
Judge Jeremy Richardson QC told Brady at Sheffield Crown Court that his “utterly outrageous” claims were “wholly irrational”.
Dan said in a statement read to the court that he “adored” the “late Caroline Flack” and “only ever wrote stories that she wanted to be published”, as reported by BBC.
The journalist added: “She knew I had her back.”
“The public should be aware that he has no credibility to speak on behalf of Caroline.”
However, he added that he hopes “[Brady] gets the help he needs”.
