Former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw and his wife, classical singer Camilla Kerslake, have been subjected to a horrifying stalking campaign, with the perpetrator threatening to spread malicious lies to social services about the couple.
The stalker, whose identity remains undisclosed for legal reasons, has reportedly made violent threats against the pair, forcing Strictly Come Dancing to heighten security measures. Robshaw, who is currently competing in the BBC show, has been placed under extra protection to ensure his safety.
Threats and Harassment Escalate
The situation escalated when the stalker vowed to contact social services with false allegations, a move described by insiders as "deeply distressing" for the couple. Robshaw and Kerslake, who married in 2018, are said to be "extremely concerned" for their wellbeing.
"This individual has made serious threats, including spreading damaging lies that could have severe consequences," a source close to the couple revealed. "Chris and Camilla are taking every precaution to stay safe."
Strictly Come Dancing on High Alert
With Robshaw participating in this year's Strictly Come Dancing, producers have ramped up security protocols to safeguard both the star and fellow contestants. The BBC has declined to comment on specific measures but confirmed that "all necessary precautions" are in place.
"The safety of our cast and crew is paramount," a BBC spokesperson stated. "We work closely with security teams to address any concerns."
Legal Action Underway
Authorities are actively investigating the stalking case, and legal proceedings are expected to follow. Robshaw and Kerslake have reportedly sought restraining orders to prevent further harassment.
Friends of the couple have rallied around them, expressing outrage at the stalker's actions. "No one should have to live in fear like this," one friend said. "They’re strong people, but this has been incredibly tough."
