I’m A Celebrity star Ferne McCann has opened up about the ordeal she went through at the hands of a stalker.

I’m A Celebrity star’s stalker ordeal
She said: ”And at first I thought it was a bit of a secret admirer. I thought: ‘Who’s this from?’ This is going to sound like I’m making it up but it was like a really weird, almost a bit crude, roses-are-red poem. I won’t finish the rest of what it said.
“Thankfully I was moving so I didn’t think anything of it.”
But the strange behaviour didn’t stop there. A few days later Ferne was heading out one night when the stalker reappeared.
The My Family & Me star said: “It was late one night and someone went: ‘Ferne.’ It was a guy and I was just so spooked out by it that I ended up driving off. And then, because I’d left Sunday at home with a family member or babysitter, I had this instinct of: ‘Don’t open the front door.'”
Ferne added: “He ended up knocking on my front door and I think that’s where it became really scary. When they cross that boundary, when they know where you live. I lived there just myself with Sunday. It really spooked me.”
