Myleene Klass has opened up about her time in court last month, where Peter Windsor, 61, was found guilty of stalking Myleene and her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick
Former Hear’Say star Myleene Klass has opened up about her ‘horrific experience’ in court last month, where she was cross-examined and was made to doubt herself. She appeared in Birmingham Crown Court in October, where Peter Windsor, 61, was found guilty of stalking Myleene and her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick.
Myleene told Birmingham Crown Court of her ‘sheer terror’ at discovering numerous items had been sent to the radio station’s central London studios, including fancy dress outfits and an air pistol.
Myleene said, ‘It was a horrific experience’, adding she ‘underestimated’ the court experience and said they made her feel like she had done something wrong.

She told The Times: “Court was the most sobering part. I underestimated it. My goodness, the way women who take the stand are made to feel they’ve done something wrong, to prove they didn’t want these items and this attention. ‘How did you feel when you received this? How did you know the stalking was real?’ I don’t know how people get through it.”
Myleene was questioned on how she knew the handcuffs were real and how she knew the gun was real. “They had to bring in police to tell the jury, ‘This is a gun,’ and have them feel it. It was utterly ludicrous point scoring. I was asked why I didn’t tell my stalker to stop. That stopped me in my tracks. I had to admit it hadn’t occurred to me to write back to my stalker and ask him to keep away. Their response was, like, ‘Gotcha!’”
Giving evidence against Peter Windsor, Myleene said she was informed in an email in August last year of an “accumulation” of items sent to her by the 61-year-old.
Peter Windsor denies stalking both Myleene and her Classic FM colleague Katie by sending items to the station’s central London studios between 2020 and 2024.
Myleene told the court she was shown a list of items and photographs of some of the letters after being informed of them, having previously not been told about the mail to avoid worrying her.
Answering questions from prosecutor Timothy Sapwell, Myleene said: “It was very clear very quickly that it was a highly volatile selection of items.
“It was a huge shock, especially the extent to which it had escalated.
“It was pretty overwhelming when you have the accumulation of a bundle of this information. It’s pretty terrifying.”
