Fern Britton left 'disturbed and scared' after stalker sent flowers and moved into her holiday home

Stalker's Obsession

Fern Britton was left feeling "disturbed and scared" after a stalker, James Haviland, sent her flowers and moved into her holiday home, sources claim. The 63-year-old from Basingstoke, Hants, admitted to stalking the TV favorite for two years.

Stalker's Actions

James Haviland drove 200 miles to stay in Fern Britton's holiday cottage in Cornwall multiple times, causing her distress. He even rented out her holiday home without her consent, leading to a two-year ordeal for the star.

Legal Proceedings

Haviland recently appeared in court where he admitted to the stalking charges without fear, alarm, or distress. The prosecutor named Fern Britton as his victim and detailed his actions of sending flowers, staying in her village, and renting her cottage.

Fern Britton's Response

Fern Britton, who had moved to Cornwall to heal after her marriage ended and her parents passed away, was deeply affected by the unwanted attention. Despite enjoying countryside runs and beach picnics, the star felt disturbed by the stalker's actions.

Previous Encounters

This is not the first time Fern Britton has faced unwanted attention, as she previously clashed with a photographer near her home in Buckinghamshire. The star, known for her TV appearances, has been open about the distress caused by such encounters.
