Peter Windsor sent the Classic FM host Myleene Klass an air pistol, along with a fancy dress Catwoman and police officer outfits during a nine-month campaign of harassment
Myleene Klass was sent an air pistol by an alleged stalker, along with fancy dress Catwoman and police officer outfits, a court heard.
During a nine-month campaign of harassment, Peter Windsor also sent the Classic FM host a string of letters and gifts such as shoes and jewellery, it was alleged.
Prosecutors say the 60-year-old’s actions had a “substantial adverse effect” on the mum-of-three and he knew or should have known it would cause “serious alarm or distress”.
He is also accused of stalking Classic FM late-night DJ Katie Breathwick, 52, for almost three years before switching to Myleene, 46.
Both received “incoherent” letters with Windsor’s address on, sent to the station’s London office, Birmingham Crown Court heard – with the air pistol intercepted before reaching the former Hear’Say singer.
Windsor, due for trial in March, is still to plead on two counts of stalking causing serious alarm.
Meanwhile, the former I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! champion expressed disappointment at the trials faced by this year’s contestants. On Good Morning Britain, presenters Kate Garraway and Richard Madeley chatted with Myleene Klass about the hit ITV series.
Myleene, who claimed second place in 2006, triumphed last year in the inaugural all-stars series, which brought back former campmates for another shot at victory. The 46-year-old clinched the title after a nail-biting final against Jordan Banjo, where they endured a particularly nasty Bushtucker Trial.
Discussing the current series, Richard Madeley enquired if she had been following the show and whether she thought the trials were less challenging than those she faced. Myleene quipped: “Are you joking? I had to eat 60 mouse tails and they gave the Revered one!”
She continued with a humorous anecdote: “There was this big deal about it, those mice tails, they took my brace out. I’m still paying the dentistry bills on them.” Her witty retort triggered a burst of laughter from both Richard and Kate before she delved deeper into her thoughts on the reality show.
