Rosemary Shrager has revealed she has been ‘badly’ scammed twice as she took to Instagram to address her social media absence on Wednesday.
The British chef, 74, admitted she has gone through ‘a bit of a challenging time’ and has been feeling very ‘vulnerable’ amid the recent scam.
While she didn’t go into detail of what happened, Rosemary emotionally admitted: ‘I’m so sorry I have been so quiet lately, I’ve had a bit of a challenging time. I’ve been scammed quite badly.
‘I’m not going to detail just now, but it’s all a bit of a pressure and in fact twice I’ve been scammed and I was feeling very sort of vulnerable, it has not been a nice thing.
‘So, I haven’t been able to share very much because I have been so upset, genuinely upset. It’s really affected me worse than I ever thought it would because I felt so awful that I was succumbed to this sort of thing and it just has not been nice.’
‘Anyway, I am feeling a lot better, so I am now moving on and I have gotten used to it now but everybody out there, you have got to be so careful’, Rosemary added.

‘But really without going into much detail I just wanted to say I’ve been quite quiet and it’s been challenging and I’m really sorry.’
She wrote in the caption: ‘I wanted to film a little update video to let you all know why I have been less active on my social media, and to also share a bit of my experience.
‘Being scammed can happen to anyone. And I hope that maybe this message will be a reminder that you can never be too careful.’
Zoe Ball, who has previously been scammed, share her support in the comments section: ‘sending you so much love Rosemary ❤️’
Zoe has previously warned fans after her experience of scammers. Rochelle Humes and Rylan Clark have also been victims of fraudsters.
Last year, Zoe warned fans of a scam where fraudsters used AI pictures of her face to con people out of thousands of pounds.
Zoe shared that scammers are creating fake headlines and articles that she has invested money into a financial scheme which has gained a lot of money.
But in reality, the fake account is actually made to lure people into investing money in a fraudulent crypto investment website, which is then stolen by the con artists.

Speaking to hosts Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones, Zoe said: ‘Basically I’m not really on Facebook but lots of my listeners have drawn me to the attention of this story.
‘There are some kind of posts going up on these Facebooks luring people in with these headlines, something about Zoe Ball shame.
‘A lot of people are calling it Apex AI I think and it’s making out that I’ve invested some money into this financial scheme and done quite well from it.
‘And then it’s encouraging people who follow me to do the same. I’ve had so many people getting in touch asking if it’s a real thing.
‘Many of whom have actually given their details across and then they’ve had phone calls and follow ups. I am absolutely nothing to do with this, it is a complete scam and I’m really quite concerned about people being conned out of their money.’
Speaking to journalist Camilla Tominey, Rochelle and Rylan also previously confirmed on This Morning that they have also been victims of AI fraud on many occasions.
Camilla said: ‘Both of you could have their head superimposed onto anything.’
Rochelle responded: ‘Oh oh, that’s happened several times.’
Rylan added: ‘We can see on Facebook pictures of me or Roch or Emma Willis in handcuffs with the police saying “she knew it would catch up with her” and it’s like a fake story. Like when did I get arrested?’
Camilla added: ‘This needs to be regulated.’
