‘Fixated' man who stalked Anna Friel for three years bailed ahead of sentencing
A man who was 'fixated' with actress Anna Friel and stalked her for nearly three years has been ordered by a judge not to contact her ahead of his sentencing next month. Phil Appleton, 71, sent numerous messages, visited the actress's home address on several occasions and left 'unwanted' gifts between January 1 2022 and December 11 2024, Reading Crown Court previously heard. Appleton, of Windsor in Berkshire, pleaded guilty to a stalking offence under Section 2A of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 earlier this week. He was due to be sentenced on Thursday but judge Alan Blake adjourned the hearing until September 18 for a pre-sentence report to be carried out. The court heard that a psychiatrist had diagnosed Appleton with bipolar disorder and erotomania, where a person believes that someone else is in love with them. The psychiatrist said that Appleton had a 'fixation' with Friel and was trying to determine whether this was still the case, the court heard. The defendant, who the court heard has been in custody for six months and has spent time in a mental health facility, was granted conditional bail. Appleton must not contact Friel or enter the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, and is to co-operate with those conducting the pre-sentence report. A website under his name appears to suggest that he is an actor and retired pilot. Friel, 49, rose to fame with her role as Beth Jordache in Channel 4 soap opera Brookside. She achieved international renown in 2007 starring as Charlotte 'Chuck' Charles in ABC comedy series Pushing Daisies. In 2017, she won the International Emmy for Best Actress for her role as the title character in the ITV and Netflix mystery drama series Marcella.

This Morning's Josie Gibson reveals she's living in a caravan after moving out of million pound mansion
THIS Morning star Josie Gibson has revealed she is living in a caravan after moving out of her million-pound house. Josie, 40, opened up on Good Morning Britain about her recent property move which will be chronicled in her new ITV series, Josie Gibson's Big Country Build. 3 3 Host Ranvir Singh was quick to congratulate the star for earning millions and buying her dream home after previously living in a caravan. But she soon quipped that she had actually had to return to the static home. Speaking on GMB, Ranvir said to the star: "You know what, you used to live in a caravan before all of this, and now, just a few years later, you've bought this enormous house. You're a great British success story, Josie!" Josie shot back: "Well, I'm moving back into a caravan, I don't know about that!" But the Big Brother winner is only heading back to the caravan temporarily as she transforms her countryside pile in Somerset. The huge construction project is being captured by ITV for a brand new series following Josie but she joked that the extensive renovations had left her "skint". As part of the show, she has teamed up with her brothers, Charlie and Josh, as well as her cousin Tom and a team of locals to create her dream property. Josie said this morning: "I've actually roped the family in. They say never to work with family or animals, and I've done just that. To say my stress levels are up here... "They are great, they are amazing, but there are a lot of challenges, let's say." She added: "I've had a lot of sleepless nights. This Morning in chaos as Josie Gibson turns up late on crutches after shocking holiday disaster "Sometimes, you get this great big dream and you follow your dreams, but you don't realise, with those dreams, there could be quite a lot of hurdles." The programme is expected to debut in 2026 following the completion of the house renovations. Josie found herself back in the spotlight in 2019 when she joined the This Morning team as a host. It allowed her to rake in millions as she became a golden girl of ITV. 3

My loving friend Meghan does not deserve to be called 'Duchess Difficult'. Shame on the foolish royals - the appalling events of this week have shown how wrong they are about her: BRYONY GORDON
The first time I met Meghan Markle, she gave me a big old bear hug, the kind that makes you feel at ease – particularly when you are being presented to assorted royals in front of a bank of baying photographers. I was at the 2018 Royal Foundation event to chair a panel on Heads Together, the mental health campaign I had worked on with the young royals.
