A 61-year-old man has been convicted of stalking television personality Myleene Klass and her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick through a campaign of disturbing postal deliveries.
Birmingham Crown Court found Peter Windsor guilty of sending alarming packages to the radio station's London headquarters over a four-year period from 2020 to 2024.
The former Hear'Say singer and her fellow broadcaster received numerous unsettling items through the post, creating what prosecutors described as an obsessional pattern of behaviour.
Mr Windsor's conviction follows evidence that his actions left both broadcasters deeply distressed and concerned for their safety whilst carrying out their professional duties at the station.

The packages contained deeply concerning items, including an air pistol that was intercepted by Royal Mail before reaching its intended recipient.
Mr Windsor also posted materials related to will-writing kits, which particularly alarmed Ms Breathwick when she received them in March 2021.
Other deliveries ranged from fancy dress costumes and binoculars to running shoes, champagne bottles, and stamp collections.
The prosecution argued that the parcels' contents revealed Mr Windsor's fixated behaviour towards the two women.

The sustained nature of Mr Windsor's actions over four years caused significant psychological distress to both broadcasters.
Prosecutors emphasised how the campaign of unwanted packages had created an atmosphere of fear and anxiety for the victims in their professional environment.
Mr Windsor's legal representative, Philip Brunt, told jurors that his client had been diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia three decades ago and had no criminal record.
The defence argued that Mr Windsor remained at home except for trips to post offices, where he sent items bearing his own address and contact details.

During testimony, Mr Windsor characterised the letter to Ms Sturgeon as "just a joke" and claimed his gifts to the presenters were part of a "pretend weird" performance.
He maintained that some packages sent to Ms Breathwick were intended to demonstrate he wasn't a "weirdo criminal" or drug user.
Mr Brunt questioned whether sending unwanted gifts constituted stalking, noting that Mr Windsor hadn't followed anyone and hadn't been asked to cease his correspondence.
