The girl also claims that Chris asked her to meet him at a hotel.

When she confronted him about his seedy conduct, the star replied: "Just do me and my girls a huge favour please don't ever talk to anyone about this."

He claimed to the girl, who was 18 when Chris began messaging her last year, that a woman speaking out against him was "on a mission to harm me".

Chris also claimed that "legal action" was being taken against the woman speaking out, and how those who do will be in "serious legal trouble".

He also begged Bella Fearn, 19, to send him naked selfies while promising that he could make her a social media star.

Bella said that the texts "just prove he’s a total creep."

Since teenage fans came forward to share the sexual texts Chris had been sending them, the family have continued to "vlog" their family life as usual.

They have made no mention of the drama in their wholesome videos.

Speaking to The Sun Online, the girl said: "He messaged me to try and keep me quiet and it made me so angry.

"He then used his children as a shield to try and defend himself and he is just refusing to be responsible for his own behaviour.

"The hardest thing is to see him and Sarah try and continue on as usual.

"It's like they're just pretending it didn't happen, as if we are all liars and when have the proof and are telling the truth.

BLUETUBE: The 'creepy' and 'sexual' texts that Chris Ingham sent to young fans

THE Sun Online revealed last month how Chris Ingham bombarded his young fans with texts described by police as "sexual".

After meeting 16-year-old Jess Simpson on holiday in Florida, he began messaging her privately on Twitter.

He told her: "Bet I can make you feel a lot better about things. And I DEFINITELY want to stay in touch when we're all back home too."

The star added: "Trust me, I bet we have a lot in common! If you can sneak out without waking anyone then deffo come meet me!

"I'm always up every night, I would say tonight but I need to crack on with editing first. If you're awake in an hour or two. Ha."

Two days later the messages became more suggestive.

Jess recieved a message which read: "Haha you home alone? X"

When she said she was, Chris replied: "I'm coming over for a party!!" and said: "Contemplating skinny dipping in the pool."

Another fan, Bella Fearn, 19, met Chris when the Ingham family were at Alton Towers where she worked at the time.

After meeting the family, Bella recived snapchat messages from Chris promising that he could help her become a social media star.

He wrote: "You're a proper genuine person. I could tell that from the second we met this morning. You've got a real likability about you. So that alongside the fact you're easy on the eye... I reckon a YouTube and Instagram influencer would be a great thing for you!"

Chris added: "You clearly look after yourself and you're super pretty. So.. you know."

He later wrote: "I hope you don't mind me saying but you have a banging body. And you're super good looking! [...] Anyway... bottom line. I like you. And I like helping people. And I have the powers and the people to help turn yourself into a massive role model to thousands on instagram. And maybe even YouTube too."

Later he asked her: "Random question... have you ever had a dude come onto you at work like when you're cleaning a room or anything like that?! Something I always wondered about hotel workers. Like propositioned you to come join him in his room?!"

Chris portrays himself to fans as a dedicated husband and loving father, and his wife Sarah is now expecting their fourth child.

Despite the controversy surrounding his conduct with teenage fans, The Ingham Family channel has been carrying on as usual with no mention of the storm surrounding Chris.

The family have been sharing videos of their holiday to Crete, where they were greeted with champagne upon arrival by staff.

Jessica shared the messages Chris sent her with police, who told The Sun Online: "The contacts were of a sexual nature, however they did not meet in person. As the girl was over 16, no offences have been committed."
