Swindon-born pop star and actress Billie Piper has told a court that she didn't feel safe in her own home after a man, who had previously been banned form contacting her sent her an 18 page message.

Last year the Dr Who Actress took out a court order against obsessive fan Philip Jerome, 41, who had appeared at her home with a letter he'd written her.

But a Southampton Magistrates' Court was told yesterday that even after he was banned form making contact, Jerome had sent a very lengthy message to Ms Piper on Facebook, via her mother and sister's accounts.

In the message, Jerome told her that he was disappointed she had not been at court when he was given the restraining order.

Jerome, of Eastleigh, Hants, admitted one count of harassment by breaching a restraining order.

He was ordered to carry out 28 rehabilitation days to try and stop him becoming obsessed and 100 hours of unpaid work.

Miss Piper gave birth to her third child Tallulah in January.
