In September Daniella Westbrook, 49, shared a video of herself lying between the sheets with ex con Ben – just weeks after confirming she was back with her fiancé David.
In the video, a giggling Danniella says: “Guess what, do you want to know a secret?”
She then pans over to Ben who laughs: “The cats out the bag.”
Danniella adds: “It’s official.”
She later shared another video and claimed it was an old video taken ‘years ago’ and she thought she was just sending to him as she insisted they are just friends.
Hatchett also previously dated Jessie Wallace’s half-sister Danielle Mason after inviting her on his podcast and having their first date in Broadmoor.
Speaking with the Daily Star about turning his life around following regaining his freedom, Ben said: “I came out with a dream in my head.
“I was going to do a book I was going to do something positive in the world – I came out with the belief that I can change and be a better person and he can too, if he was just given the opportunity.
“I was done for hostage taking,” he admits, “was on top of prison roofs, I was done for violence, I was kicked out of Broadmoor.
“They deemed me high risk. I did nine months segregation for a plot to take lan Brady hostage but I came out and look what I’ve done now; I own a security company now, I am a professional fighter, I’ve gone and worked with kids.
“These 4 letters gave me hope when I was inside – P.T.A.W., prove them all wrong.”
