Cheryl Tweedy’s stalker jailed for restraining order breach

A man who stalked singer Cheryl Tweedy has been jailed for 12 months for breaching a restraining order after turning up at her home.

Daniel Bannister showed up at her home, in the Chalfonts area of Buckinghamshire, for the fourth time on 19 June.

The 50-year-old, who has already spent time in prison for the same offence, was jailed at Reading Crown Court after he previously pleaded guilty to a single charge in front of magistrates.

Sentencing him, Judge Alan Blake said the Girls Aloud star “does not wish any contact with you”.

Bannister was also handed a fresh restraining order to not contact Ms Tweedy.

Judge Blake said: “You have shown defiance to the court order. You need to draw a line under that behaviour.”

The court heard that Bannister had arrived at her home for the fourth time on 19 June, arriving in a taxi at about 22:00 BST before ringing the intercom system twice and peering over the gate.
