James Buckley and his wife were allegedly stalked and subjected to threats of violence by a woman near their Essex home, a court has heard.
The Inbetweeners actor, 37, and his wife Clair Buckley, also 37, reportedly feared for their safety on more than one occasion following incidents involving 26-year-old Keavy O’Mahoney.
The couple tied the knot in 2012 and share sons Harrison, 11, and Jude, nine.
According to court documents seen by The Sun, the couple “feared on at least two occasions that violence would be used” against them.
O’Mahoney, of Stanford, Bedfordshire, has been charged in connection with the alleged stalking and was granted bail at a hearing at Luton Magistrates’ Court.
As part of her bail conditions, she has been banned from contacting James or Clair Buckley by any electronic means, must stay at home overnight, and is not allowed to leave her home unless accompanied by an adult approved by social services.
She is scheduled to appear at Luton Crown Court on July 28.
James and Clair Buckley have been in the public eye for several years, with Clair also working as an actress and model.
Outside of acting, Buckley has gained popularity online through his YouTube channel and podcast At Home With The Buckleys, which he hosts with Clair.
The couple often share candid and humorous insights into their family life, which has earned them a loyal following.
They are next set to star in Channel 4’s Gogglebox, joining the popular series as celebrity guests.
The news was confirmed in a video shared to social media, with the pair telling fans: “We are joining the Gogglebox family. We're going to be watching some great TV and some not so great TV. And you'll be able to join us on Friday on Channel 4 at 9pm.”
Buckley previously revealed that the only thing that would likely motivate him to reprise his role on a reboot of The Inbetweeners would be financial.
He told Headliners: “It's no secret that would be the most profitable thing I could go into right now.
I do have children, I do have a family, I do have bills, and sometimes you've got to take that into consideration, just as a practical thing, a boring, dull, provider of a family thing.
“All that stuff I do think about and what's great is I know, if four of us boys get together — and [writers] Iain Morris and Damon Beesley — and we all have a little chat and we said 'Shall we go again?' I know it would be greenlit straight away.”
