Obsessed fan admits stalking Walliams for four years
A few weeks back, we mentioned on this story and now it seems this has been
taken to court - A female fan obsessed with David Walliams has admitted
harassing the star in a four-year stalking campaign. Sarah Bartholomew, 29,
caused the cross-dressing comedian "pain and distress" by bombarding him
with erotic poems, emails and letters which initially the star ignored.
Police decided to charge the former veterinary nurse two weeks ago after she
began to make chilling threats to the star.
Crown Prosecution Service solicitor Julius Efemini told the court: "Miss
Bartholomew first started writing to Mr Walliams in 2004.
"Miss Bartholomew has somehow become obsessed with Mr Walliams. She has
repeatedly sent him a large number of emails of letters and poems. She
turned up to his home address." Mr Efemini continued: 'These emails were
overtly sexual and there were poems and emails. Towards the tail end of it
it would seem the tone of these letters and emails changed. "She sent an
email to Walliams' agent, Carl Hill saying, 'David knows what's coming to
him.' She also said, 'A big mistake had been made.'"
The book 'Inside Little Britain', written by Walliams, co-star Lucas
and Heat journalist Boyd Hilton, describes a 12-page poem by Bartholomew
"written in various different colours of ink over a period of weeks".
