Myleene Klass Reveals Harrowing Stalking Ordeal
Myleene Klass has opened up about a terrifying period in her life, revealing that she was the target of a relentless stalker whose campaign left her shaken and deeply unsettled. The Classic FM presenter and former Hear’Say singer shared that the experience was so intense that some of the evidence shown in court was deemed too traumatic for her to view. Over a period of four years, Peter Windsor, a 61-year-old man, sent Myleene and her radio colleague Katie Breathwick disturbing items, some with sexual overtones, including a Catwoman outfit, a police uniform, and even an air pistol addressed directly to her.
Speaking about the ordeal, Myleene explained that during the trial, certain pages of evidence were removed from her own file, leaving her in the dark about the full extent of the harassment. She described it as being “censored from my own life,” unable to see what others in court were presented with. This lack of transparency compounded the trauma, leaving her to wonder what else might have been sent and the potential danger her family and herself could have faced. She recalled being told by the police that the air pistol, although legal, could have been lethal if used at close range, making the threat all the more real.

Myleene highlighted the psychological impact of the stalking, noting how unsettling it was to be constantly under threat while still engaging in normal daily interactions, like signing autographs or taking photos with fans. “I was a sitting duck,” she admitted. Security measures at the radio station had intercepted and disposed of some of the items without her knowledge, which only added to her uncertainty about the full scale of Windsor’s actions.
Facing Windsor in court was described as the most sobering part of the ordeal. Myleene spoke about the way women who testify in such cases are often made to feel as though they are being questioned for wrongdoing, even when it is clear they were the victims. The stalking had no ambiguity—the messages and packages were deliberate, targeted, and threatening. Evidence included letters, maps of the women’s workplaces, gloves, binoculars, and other items intended to intimidate and disturb.
Ultimately, Windsor was convicted of stalking, and the case has sparked wider discussions about the psychological effects of harassment and the need for more effective measures to protect victims. Myleene Klass’s testimony serves as a stark reminder of how stalking can infiltrate the everyday lives of its victims, leaving long-lasting emotional scars and a persistent sense of vulnerability. The courage she showed in speaking out highlights the importance of recognizing these crimes and supporting those affected.
