Police are investigating an attempt to blackmail socialite Tamara Ecclestone.
The alleged blackmailer threatened to reveal details of a relationship between the daughter of billionaire Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone and an unidentified man unless she paid a ‘tidy sum’, according to a source.
The amount involved could be as much as six figures, the source added.
Metropolitan Police officers are investigating the suspected blackmail attempt after Miss Ecclestone, 27, reported an alleged ‘inappropriate communication’ on Monday.
One source told the Mail: ‘Tamara has been really shaken up by all this.
 Formula One Heiress Tamara Ecclestone |
Miss Ecclestone’s 82-year-old father is estimated to be worth £2.5billion.
He recently bought her a £45million house on one of London’s most desirable streets in Kensington.
Miss Ecclestone is having £18million of renovations carried out on the 55-room property. These include installing an underground nightclub, bowling alley, beauty salon and a dog spa for her five pets.
Other additions will be a vast dressing room to store her wardrobe – and £500,000 handbag collection – and a vehicle lift for her supercars.
Miss Ecclestone recently admitted her lavish lifestyle made her a ‘prime target’ for criticism in gloomy economic times, but claimed she was ‘like any other girl’.
She said: ‘People assume I’m a monster, have no emotions, and bad things haven’t happened to me.
‘I’m vulnerable like every other girl in the world – good days, bad days.’
In August, her younger sister Petra, 23, was married in a £12million extravaganza in Italy paid for by Mr Ecclestone and his ex-wife, former Armani model Slavica, the mother of both heiresses.
Miss Ecclestone, whose parents divorced in 2009 after 23 years of marriage, recently featured in the Channel 5 series Billion Dollar Girl, a three-part documentary detailing her extravagant life.
She has been dating stockbroker Omar Khyami, 37, since last year. She recently told how he had already agreed to sign a prenuptial agreement if they married.
She said: ‘We have talked about it [a prenup]. I’ve never brought it up, but when my sister’s wedding came round, Omar said he would want that, which is so nice.’
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said yesterday: ‘On Monday December 5 police from Kensington and Chelsea borough received a complaint regarding an inappropriate communication relating to the release of personal information.
‘The allegation was assessed and is now being investigated at this early stage as blackmail. CID in Kensington and Chelsea are investigating.
‘No one has been arrested. Inquiries continue.’
A spokesman for Miss Ecclestone said: ‘Tamara is aware of the matter and the police are handling it on her behalf.’
