According to The Sun, the West End star, 46, started exchanging messages with the woman, who is said to be a broadcaster 16 years his junior, from December 2018 for five months, until his performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall in April 2019.

‘When he paid tribute to Sarah — after claiming for months that he wasn’t happy — and then blocked her that same night, it made her feel worthless.’

The source added of Alfie: ‘Alfie was so charming that she fell for him completely. He even rang her at midnight on New Year’s Eve, which she really appreciated.’

MailOnline has contacted a representative for Alfie Boe for comment. 

The claims come after it was reported that Alfie had split from his wife Sarah after 16 years of marriage and is now allegedly looking for women on a celebrity dating app.
