AN “OBSESSED” fan who stalked a model and spent £30,000 on her OnlyFans account believed he was in a real relationship with her.

Nottingham Crown Court heard how, over a two-year period, married Mark Inkster, of Eastwood, bombarded Alice Goodwin with more than 11,000 messages in which he professed his undying love for her.

He also found her address and sent flowers, birthday, Christmas and Valentine's cards to the 38-year-old victim, who is the ex-wife of former Notts County and Liverpool footballer and reality TV star Jermaine Pennant.

In one message, the 43-year-old told the 38-year-old victim: "I could just imagine your face if (I) turned up at your doorstep."

Handing him a suspended sentence, Judge Philip Head said: "Over a two-and-a-half-year period you became obsessed with your victim over two platforms - OnlyFans and Babestation. You subscribed and you exchanged messages.

"These messages were highly sexual and flirtatious. She was working on a TV programme called Babestation and you were viewing her on that platform as well. You spent the simply staggering sum of £30,000 on her Only Fans account.
