At a sentencing hearing on Friday, Beckford, who lives in the West Midlands, was given a 20-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months.

She has also been told not to contact the Crimewatch presenter.

Mr Wilding, who attended Fulston Manor School in Sittingbourne, told the court the messages started appearing on his Facebook and Twitter pages.
