'Our STALKER HELL'

Ahead of National Stalking Awareness Week, we take a look at the stars who have been terrorised by obsessive criminals
-
Harry Styles
We're sure Harry receives thousands of letters from fans. But last year, Myra Carvalho, who sent singer Harry 8,000 cards in less than a month, was sentenced to 14 weeks in prison after pleading guilty to stalking. Worryingly, some were wedding cards and two of the letters were hand-delivered to Harry's address. Myra was also handed a restraining order lasting for 10 years and was told not to attend any event where the former One Direction star was performing.
Lily Allen
Singer Lily was harassed by Alex Gray for years with letters and social media threats before he broke into her house while she and her two daughters were sleeping. In 2016, he was detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act. Lily said, 'I'd been cooking and burned a pan and opened the back door. I closed it but forgot to lock it when I went to bed. I sat up and looked and the door handle was twisting round. This guy came steaming in... he ripped the duvet off, calling me a "f*****g b***h"...' She added, 'There was this second outside my kids' room when I was terrified to go in, in case of what I might find.'
