Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s stalker ordered to back off after calling her a ‘priviliged b***h’ and sending texts

AN accountant sent singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor gifts and texts and called her a “flaky, privileged b***h”, a court heard.

Stalker Nishil Patel, 39, kept up his campaign even after police warned him to stop, it was said.

He also sent unsolicited messages to the Murder on the Dancefloor star’s husband and son, JPs were told yesterday.

His approaches “became more abusive and aggressive” and “unsettled” the 42-year-old chart star, it was said.

Bipolar Patel said he had been suffering stress and had lost his job but was now “stable”.

A district judge made an interim stalking protection order preventing him from contacting the mum of three.

Patel, of Chiswick, West London, will reappear before Westminster JPs in November for another hearing over the case.
