```html Myleene Klass Testifies to "Sheer Terror" in Stalking Trial

TV and radio presenter Myleene Klass has described the "sheer terror" she experienced after allegedly being sent a gun, handcuffs, a silver ring, and a police uniform by an alleged stalker, Peter Windsor. Klass gave evidence at Birmingham Crown Court, where Windsor is on trial, denying two counts of stalking causing serious alarm or distress to both Klass and her Classic FM colleague, Katie Breathwick, between 2020 and 2024.

Alleged Stalker Sent Disturbing Parcels

Klass testified that she was informed of an "accumulation" of disturbing items sent to her in an email in August of last year. She stated that the intention behind the parcels was "very clear" and that there was "no grey area," particularly concerning the gun sent in a box addressed to her.

The court previously heard that Windsor allegedly sent a note calling Klass a "naughty vixen" and sent Breathwick a letter suggesting a champagne-drinking outing on a lake. Klass described the materials, including notes referencing circumcision and the ring sent as "holy protection" for a "worthy high priestess," as "utterly visually disturbing."

Impact on Myleene Klass

When asked about being informed that Royal Mail had intercepted an air pistol addressed to her, Klass became visibly upset. She explained that learning about the packages from her employer's security staff felt "extreme," especially after being shown a list of items and photographs of some letters. Klass had previously been kept unaware of the mail to avoid causing her undue worry.

"It was very clear very quickly that it was a highly volatile selection of items," Klass told the prosecutor, Timothy Sapwell. "It was a huge shock, especially the extent to which it had escalated." She added, "It's a huge violation. It's sheer terror really."

Air Gun Interception

Klass recounted her conversation with a police constable in September of last year, who informed her about the intercepted air gun. "He said to me that whilst the gun wasn't necessary for a licence in this country, at such close proximity right up to 6ft it could prove fatal and police took it very seriously," Klass stated. "I was extremely shocked because suddenly it felt extremely real."

Katie Breathwick's Testimony

Katie Breathwick testified on Tuesday, describing her horror at receiving a letter containing details about a DIY will-writing kit and other "unhinged" mail from Windsor. She stated that she feared for her safety as a result of the correspondence.

Historical Context and Expert Analysis

Stalking, particularly of public figures, has a long and troubling history. The rise of social media and the ease of access to personal information have arguably exacerbated the issue, making it easier for individuals to harass and intimidate celebrities and other prominent individuals. Dr. Eleanor Bradley, a forensic psychologist specializing in stalking behavior, notes that "Stalking often stems from a desire for control and power. The perpetrator may feel entitled to the victim's attention, or they may be acting out of obsession or a distorted sense of reality."

Dr. Bradley further explains, "The impact on victims can be devastating, leading to anxiety, depression, and a constant state of fear. The legal system is increasingly recognizing the seriousness of stalking, but more needs to be done to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable."

Legal Proceedings Continue

Peter Windsor, 61, of Mary Road, Stechford, Birmingham, denies the charges against him. The trial is ongoing at Birmingham Crown Court.
