The X Factor contestant Katie Waissel's grandmother, Sheila Vogel-Coupe, has been the victim of a hate campaign since it was revealed she works as a prostitute.
The 81 year old has been under pressure to move out of her flat in St John's Wood, North London following revelations she charges £250 an hour for sex sessions.
Neighbours of Vogel-Coupe have launched a campaign to force her out of the area, and the Sun reports that she has been sent abusive mail.
Local resident Nigel Shearman told the paper: "It's disgusting to think of her inviting God knows who here for sex."
Another neighbour, Connie Hatton, commented: "She'd be better off starting a new life elsewhere."
A spokesman for Waissel's gran has denied she works form her flat however, saying:
"She is not 'entertaining' in her flat and never has. She is just a very frightened lady who wants to stay in a home she loves."
