Strictly star Chris Robshaw on stalker hell
Since last summer, former England rugby captain Chris, 39, and his family have been the victims of a horrific campaign of stalking. The stalker in question is a woman Chris met at two seperate work events last summer.
Within six months of their interaction, the woman began a campaign of harassment, allegedly spreading false claims about Chris and encouraging others to do the same. The woman also allegedly made threats to tell lies about Chris and his wife, Camilla, to social services.
The couple, who have been married since 2018, have two sons – Wilder, four, and Hunter, one.
However, when the threats became violent, Chris got the police involved. Due to the investigation still being active, Chris hasn’t provided many details on what has been going on. However, in a chat with The Times earlier this month, he described it as a “tough situation” and an “ongoing headache”.

The woman is reportedly known to authorities for similar offences against other victims. She has allegedly set fires and made bomb threats to other people.
