Peter Windsor sent over 100 disturbing parcels to Myleene Klass and a fellow radio host

 A man who terrorised TV and radio presenter Myleene Klass by sending her disturbing items including a gun, handcuffs and a police uniform has been found guilty of stalking.

Peter Windsor, 61, from Stechford, Birmingham, was convicted at Birmingham Crown Court on two counts of stalking causing serious alarm or distress. The charges related to a four-year campaign targeting Myleene Klass and her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick between 2020 and 2024.

Jurors heard that Windsor sent the presenters more than 100 letters and parcels to their workplace at Global Radio’s London studios. The items included bizarre and threatening gifts such as a DIY will-writing kit, a pair of binoculars, and an air pistol addressed directly to Klass.

Speaking after the verdict, Klass said she finally felt a sense of relief after what she described as “a horrific year”. She thanked the judge, police and her co-presenter, saying: “After a horrific year, my family and I finally have peace.”

During the trial, the 47-year-old former Hear’Say singer broke down in court as she described her “sheer terror” upon learning of the contents of the parcels. She told jurors she had not initially been informed about the deliveries to avoid distress, but was later shown a list of items and photographs by security staff.

“It just felt extreme on every front,” she said. “It was very clear, very quickly, that it was a highly volatile selection of items. It’s a huge violation. It’s sheer terror, really.”

Windsor, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, referred to Klass as a “naughty vixen” in one of his letters and wrote to Breathwick suggesting he wanted to go “paddling in a lake while drinking champagne” with both women.

Breathwick, 53, also became emotional while giving evidence, saying the stalking began at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. “The first note was about how many push-ups and pull-ups he’d done — it was weird, personal, like he knew me,” she said. Among the many items Windsor sent her was a note referencing witchcraft and a pair of binoculars.

“I was terrified,” she told the court. “By that stage I thought he’d sent me binoculars to tell me he was watching me.”

Jurors were also told that Windsor had previously been arrested — but not prosecuted — in 2020 after sending a letter to then-Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, which he signed in blood and claimed was “a joke”. The letter reportedly “pledged his soul to Satan.”

The court heard that despite his arrest, Windsor continued his campaign of harassment for several more years, sending disturbing messages and objects that left both women fearful for their safety.

When the guilty verdicts were read out on Tuesday, Windsor, wearing a grey sweatshirt, sighed and pursed his lips in the dock. The jury took just over four hours of deliberation across two days to reach a unanimous decision.

Judge Tom Rochford said sentencing options included imprisonment or hospital orders under the Mental Health Act, depending on psychiatric assessments due next month. Windsor has been remanded in custody until then.

After the case, Acting Detective Sergeant Marius Dinescu of West Midlands Police praised the victims’ courage. “Stalking is a serious crime with devastating effects on victims,” he said. “There are not enough words to commend Myleene and Katie for their bravery in reporting what happened and describing their experiences in court.”

The case has reignited discussion around the dangers of celebrity stalking and the long-lasting trauma inflicted on victims. Klass has previously spoken publicly about feeling unsafe following earlier incidents, including being targeted by intruders at her home.

For now, the guilty verdict marks the end of an ordeal that left two women living in fear for years — and a stark warning about how obsession can escalate into sustained psychological terror
