'You have f***ed my life up, you are going to pay for this' - Jilted mum waged hate campaign after boyfriend moved in with beauty queen neighbour

A jilted mum embarked on a foul-mouthed hate campaign after discovering her partner was expecting a child with her next-door neighbour. Claire Boardman, 44, sent vile texts to 29 year-old former Manchester beauty queen Chloe Douglas-Riley when her boyfriend, Stuart Jones, 33, moved in with her.
