Cheryl has reportedly been at the centre of a stalking ordeal after a man turned up at the home she shares with son, Bear.
The Girls Aloud favourite has faced the traumatic invasion of her privacy in the difficult weeks following the death of Bear’s dad, Liam Payne.
Cheryl’s stalking ordeal
Daniel Bannister, who reportedly killed a man in an attack at a homeless hostel, has been convicted of causing the star “serious alarm†after turning up at her mansion in Buckinghamshire, according to The Sun.
Bannister served a 30-month prison stint for manslaughter after he attacked a man in 2012. He is said to have been “displaying fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour†towards Cheryl.
Back in September, Bannister was put behind bars for four months. This was due to an offence that took place in July. Bannister has now been handed a three-year restraining order. This means he cannot contact Cheryl, enter Buckinghamshire or attend her address.
Court documents are now said to show that Bannister went to Cheryl’s home again in December.
Restraining order issued
Bannister’s trip to Buckinghamshire is a breach of his restraining order. He is also said to have gone to “an address where [he] knew or believed Cheryl was presentâ€. This is another separate breach.
Since the contact restrictions were put in place, Bannister is said to have contacted Cheryl both directly and indirectly.
Bannister pleaded guilty to the three offences in December. As a result, he has been sent back to prison before his sentencing on January 30.
‘Red alert’
This difficult time comes after Cheryl was forced to toughen up her security. The separate scare came when she was performing in 2:22 A Ghost Story in the West End last year.
Cheryl’s team were said to be on “red alertâ€
