Former Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis was bombarded with letters and showered with gifts by a stalker who would "loiter" outside her home.
The 28-year-old was also swamped with messages sent through social media sites by Wirral man Alex Boston.
Yesterday he admitted stalking the actress after he was identified through his Instagram account and the fingerprints on one of his letters to her.

Boston targeted Ms Davis throughout the Coronavirus lockdown until the summer of this year, sending her messages online, delivering letters and gifts and hanging around outside her home.
Police were informed of his behaviour and tracked him down to his home on Lyons Road in Moreton, where officers discovered more letters
The Crown Prosecution Service said that from April 2020 to July 2021 the 43-year-old subjected Ms Davis to a "frightening and distressing campaign of obsessive and unwanted contact".
Ms Davis suffered panic attacks and moved out of her home as a result.
Boston appeared at Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Friday and pleaded guilty to a single count of stalking.
He will be sentenced on December 22.
Following yesterday's court case Ronan Molloy, District Crown Prosecutor for CPS Mersey Cheshire, said: “Stalking and harassment can take many forms, but the common denominator in all such cases is an unhealthy fixation on an individual by the perpetrator.
“Stalking is a serious offence, one which has a significant impact on the victim.
“The CPS is committed to the prosecution of these offences, working closely with our partners to ensure that victims are supported and protected wherever possible.
“Stalking is not a form of flattery and is not something women in public life should simply have to expect. It is a harmful practice and it will be taken very seriously.”
