Two fans who set up Facebook memorial pages for George befriended Nu, 59, after George’s death last Christmas Day.

But Sharron Thomas and Paul James grew suspicious when she held a “street party” on June 25, the singer’s birthday, outside the cottage where he died at Goring in Oxfordshire.

Video posted online showed Nu with George’s so-called “Lovelies”, fans who visited the cottage.

But Paul, 48, from Newbury, said: “I saw a female fan going into the cottage. I thought it was inappropriate.”

Online comments also suggested Nu was accepting gift vouchers for spa and theatre breaks from fans.

Admin worker Sharron, 47, from Suffolk, says she and Paul were abused online when they raised questions about Nu.

One woman told Sharron she knew where she lived and where her teen daughter worked.

Nu accused Sharron of discussing “confidential” information on Facebook, which she denied.

Sharron outlined her concerns in a letter to George’s sister Melanie, 56, and was then contacted by the family solicitor.

She revealed: “He said he was shocked if we have been treated in a disrespectful way — and George would be horrified by what’s happened.

“He said he would investigate everything fully.”

Nu splits her work for the estate between George’s homes in Goring and Highgate, North London.

She admitted accepting gifts from fans and an online spat.

But she said: “We’re allowed to take anyone we want into the house. I’ve not taken any fans in.

She said of the online rows: “They started the unpleasantness.”
