Judge in case of former X Factor singer accused of murdering influencer 'rival' in 'road rage attack' warns social media commentators they face jail - as supporters for victim and suspect shout 'love you' in court.

People posting commentary on social media about the murder trial involving a former X Factor finalist and her influencer 'rival' risk being jailed, a judge warned today.Her Honour Judge Sarah Whitehouse KC said anyone committing contempt of court in the trial of Gabrielle Carrington faces 'going down to the cells'.She said: 'Cases are tried by juries in this jurisdiction - they are not decided by publicity on social media. I hope that is clear to everybody.'Her warning came moments before supporters for both Carrington and alleged victim TikTok and Instagram personality Klaudia Zakrzewska, known as Klaudiglam, peppered the court with shouts of 'love you' as the 15-minute hearing came to a close.Judge Whitehouse repeatedly had to urge those in the public gallery at the Old Bailey to sit down before the administrative hearing could begin.And Carrington's newly acquired defence counsel Mark Haywood KC asked the judge to remind the public about unwanted commentary around the high-profile case.He said: 'Understandably, because of who Miss Carrington is, and who others connect to the proceedings are, there has in the past been commentary online - some of it informed, some of it wholly uninformed and tendentious.'As My Lady knows, the point is the jury in due course will be directed to try the case according to the evidence presented in this court room, and not, let us say, opinions expressed online. Gabrielle Precious Carrington (pictured), 29, allegedly ran over TikTok and Instagram star Klaudia 'Klaudiaglam' Zakrzewska, 32, outside a nightclub in Soho in April this year 'Klaudiaglam' boasted an online following of nearly 260,000 on Instagram when she died'The regular media reporters understand that fully. For others, there is a need to be reminded.'The judge said it would be 'very easy' for social media users to post prejudicial opinions or content online, but that those doing so illegally by failing to observe strict reporting restrictions on court reporting across England and Wales could find themselves in trouble.She said: 'You might not think what you are putting on social media is in any way contempt of court, people posting on social media don't always know - but that doesn't provide an excuse.'If anybody published anything that is thought to be prejudicial to the interests of Miss Carrington and the others, you can find yourself in contempt of court and at risk of imprisonment.'Carrington, 29, has been charged with murdering Ms Zakrzewska in Soho, London, in April.She was initially charged with attempted murder, but Ms Zakrzewska died in hospital days after being struck, prompting prosecutors to update the charge.Carrington has also been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent on a second alleged victim. She entered not guilty pleas to both charges at the Old Bailey.Carrington, of Broadfield Road in Manchester, appeared in the dock today.She is due to go on trial in January.As the case concluded, people in the public gallery believed to support Carrington yelled: 'Love you!'Another woman, with what appeared to be a strong eastern European accent, added: 'Justice for my daughter - love you Klaudia.'Carrington previously appeared at the magistrates' court where it was heard she had been in an 'ongoing dispute' with Ms Zakrzewska. Carrington was an X Factor finalist with the girl band Miss Dynamix in 2013 Prosecutor Rizwan Amin said during the previous hearing that Carrington was 'a known social media influencer'.Describing the 'melee' that unfolded, he said: 'During this time, she (Carrington), seemed to have an altercation with a male as she exited her car.'This altercation had escalated, involving several other members of the public.'When security tried to intervene, Miss Carrington was seen to re-enter the vehicle,' which immediately moved off and 'sharply' mounted the pavement, he said.'During this manoeuvre, the vehicle had struck Miss Zakrzewska, who was dragged forward and was trapped beneath the vehicle.'The vehicle kept moving forward.'Fellow victim Anoush Chyche, a man in his 50s who was unlocking his e-scooter at the time, also sustained life-changing injuries in the same crash and was taken to hospital, the previous hearing was told.A third woman, Latisha Armstrong, aged in her 30s, was treated for minor injuries.Mr Amin said: 'As the vehicle moved forward, it fully took her underneath the vehicle and struck Mr Anoush who was on the pavement.'Ms Armstrong was also hit by the vehicle during this incident, suffering a broken bone in her wrist, the court heard.According to the court charges, Carrington allegedly had 61 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath when she tested after the incident.The legal limit in England is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres.Police were called to the scene outside Inca nightclub in Argyll Street in Soho at 4.30am on Sunday, April 19 following reports that a car had crashed into pedestrians.Ms Zakrzewska, who has more than 250,000 followers on Instagram, had posted videos from the nightclub on the night she was struck.As a teenager, Carrington, also known as RIELLEUK, made it through to the live finals of The X Factor in 2013 as part of girl group Miss Dynamix after impressing Take That singer Gary Barlow and the other judges.The season was won by singer Sam Bailey.More recently, she has become an influencer, with 362,000 followers on Instagram.
