Former BBC radio presenter Alex Belfield, who is currently serving a prison sentence, has been banned from contacting two more people.

‍

Alex was sentenced to five and a half years years in prison last year for harassing four people online, including broadcaster Jeremy Vine.

‍

Alex, 43, has now also been banned from attempting to contact Greg Scott, a man he sent a tweet to, and George's wife Karen.

‍

He's also not allowed to publish or try to publish material relating to them.

‍

Alex appeared before Nottingham Magistrates' Court via video link from HMP Stocken, Rutland. Speaking in court, he said: "I have never met, gone near or ever contacted Karen Scott or done anything other than replying to Greg Scott. I just want to make that clear."

‍

District judge Sunil Khanna warned that Alex could face further jail time if he breached his order again.

‍

Barrister Christopher Pembridge also asked the judge to consider ordering Alex to pay some costs.

‍

However, Alex's lawyer David Aubrey KC argued: "[Alex] is in prison and on the question of his earning capacity when he comes out of prison, there could be restrictions on what work he could do.

‍

"It is very much up in the air and will depend on what happens upon his release eventually."

‍

Alex was ordered to pay £403.
