She told how the man - who believes he knows her - also "lunged" at her in one alarming episode. And it is understood investigating officers have since confiscated the man's phone and computer as part of their probe into his actions. Speaking exclusively on the Mirror's Invite Only podcast, Shirley said: "There was one particular person who was kind of stalking me.
That is under investigation at the moment, as we speak. "He was taking pictures of my house, he had my house, he had my car. So, yes, there have been times when I have been fearful.
"I meet people and they really, the majority of people are fantastic, but then once or twice you'll, they lunge...
. this one particular person will lunge at me, and he really feels he knows me. "He feels he knows me.
But he only knows me from the TV. Or from following me on social media. And that's quite alarming.
" Shirley's comments come in the wake of the Holly Willoughby ordeal, which saw Gavin.
