Myleene Klass’ ‘stalker’ sent her ‘air pistol and fancy dress outfits’ during ‘nine-month campaign of harassment’
SINGER Myleene Klass was sent an air pistol plus Catwoman and police officer fancy dress outfits by an alleged stalker.
Peter Windsor, 60, is accused of sending the former pop star a string of letters and “unwanted gifts” such as shoes and jewellery.
The items were sent to the Classic FM radio station office in London, but the pistol was intercepted before it reached the mother-of-three, a court heard.
Myleene, 46, and colleague Katie Breathwick, 53, were sent a series of unwanted and “incoherent” letters that had Windsor’s address and appeared to be in his handwriting, prosecutors said.
Over three years from 2020, Windsor allegedly sent Ms Breathwick binoculars, a pair of running shoes, a bottle of champagne and a stamp collection.
After targeting the presenter, Windsor then focused his attention on the ex-Hear’Say singer during a nine-month campaign of harassment, it was claimed.
Prosecutors said the defendant’s alleged actions had a “substantial adverse effect” and “he knew or should have known it would cause serious alarm or distress”.
At Birmingham crown court, Windsor appeared by videolink from prison, where he is being held on remand.
But he didn’t enter a plea to two counts of causing serious alarm by stalking.
The hearing was adjourned and Windsor, of Birmingham, is due to stand trial in March.
