Everything to know as Myleene Klass’s stalker faces sentencing

• Myleene Klass’s stalker, Peter Windsor, is being sentenced today. He was previously found guilty of stalking Klass and her Classic FM colleague, Katie Breathwick. Windsor inundated Myleene and Katie by sending mail to them at their central London radio studios between March 2020 and August 2024.
• Some of the items included an air pistol, handcuffs and “raving letters”. Other items sent to the studio included a police uniform and details of a DIY will-writing kit. He also posted binoculars, running shoes, a stamp collection and bottles of champagne. These items were all sent to the same radio studio in central London, where both Myleene and Katie work. Katie told Myleene about around 100 notes and gifts as she felt her colleague ought to have been aware of the situation. In one letter, Windsor called Myleene a “naughty vixen” and told Katie that he wanted to go paddling in a lake with the pair, while they sipped on champagne.
• Speaking about the gun package, Myleene previously told the court: “He said to me that whilst the gun wasn’t necessary for a licence in this country, at such close proximity right up to 6ft it could prove fatal and police took it very seriously. I was extremely shocked because suddenly it felt extremely real. It’s a gun in a box with my name on it.” One letter read: “Dear Myleene, Introducing the nemesis Caig Sterling gun (Champions 60’s telly show), if things get scary for you (deterrent). (String may have buggered on it). Petey Pope.”
• It emerged during the trial that Windsor was arrested but not prosecuted after sending a letter in October 2020 to then-Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon, which he said had been “signed in blood” and which “pledged his soul to Satan”. He told jurors the letter was “just a joke” and that he had sent parcels and letters to the radio presenters as a “pretend weird” acting performance.
• The Crown alleges that the content of letters and parcels sent by Windsor “was obsessional and demonstrated his obsessive interest” in his alleged victims, who were left “worried about things like just going to work”. In his closing speech to the jury, defence barrister Philip Brunt said Windsor had been diagnosed for the past 30 years with paranoid schizophrenia and had no previous convictions.
• Windsor, who has used multiple names including Peter Szymanski and changed his surname to its current form by deed poll, had not followed anyone and was not told to stop sending letters by anyone, defence barrister Philip Brunt said. The defence added that he was in his room in his home, apart from when he was going to the post office to mail the items through Royal Mail – with his address over the packages.
• Judge Tom Rochford previously told Windsor that the options for sentencing include a prison sentence or two types of hospital orders. Klass previously hit out at the stalking laws in the UK, claiming that they were outdated, having been written in the 1800s.
