A contestant on the hit BBC show Strictly Come Dancing has been forced to involve the police after becoming the target of a stalker who sent 'disgusting and deeply unsettling' threats.
The unnamed celebrity, currently competing in this year's series, reported the individual to authorities following a series of disturbing messages. Insiders reveal the threats were severe enough to warrant immediate action.
Safety Concerns for Strictly Stars
This alarming incident highlights the darker side of fame, with public figures increasingly vulnerable to obsessive behaviour. A show source stated: 'Everyone is shocked. No one should have to deal with this level of harassment.'
The production team is reportedly reviewing security measures for all contestants, with mental health support being offered to the affected individual.
Police Investigation Underway
Metropolitan Police confirmed they are investigating the threats but declined to comment further due to the ongoing nature of the case. Legal experts suggest the stalker could face charges under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
This isn't the first time Strictly contestants have faced harassment, with previous series seeing professionals and celebrities alike targeted by overzealous 'fans'.
