"He sounded down and under the influence of alcohol and she shouted at him to leave her alone and hung up," said Simon Gladwell, prosecuting.
He rang back and when Miss Seeley's friend answered Roberts got angry and said he was two minutes away from the house.
On another occasion in June, Roberts saw Miss Seeley at a festival in Abbey Gardens in Bury St Edmunds and approached her and spoke to her
Roberts, 35, who was living In Northumberland. Avenue, Bury St Edmunds admitted two offences of breaching a restraining order and breaching a suspended sentence order.
