An ‘obsessed’ stalker from Birmingham sent popstar Myleene Klass an air pistol as he told her she was a ‘naughty vixen’ and asked her to use a whip and cane on him, a court heard. It was one of a number of ‘bizarre’ packages Peter Windsor sent to the Classic FM presenter as well as her colleague Katie Breathwick, a jury was told. The 61-year-old of Mary Road, Stechford , stands trial at Birmingham Crown Court , where he denies two counts of stalking causing ‘alarm or distress’.

While the court was told that his conduct towards Ms Breathwick lasted much longer, between March 2020 and December 2023. Among the items he is accused of posting to her were a pair of binoculars, a bottle of champagne, a stamp collection, and running shoes with spikes. Opening the case today, Monday, September 29, prosecutor Timothy Sapwell said: “Both worked for Classic FM based in London. “The prosecution’s case is that the defendant became obsessed with these two presenters, and what he did was send them a large number of letters and parcels. “Media personalities are quite used to getting fan mail and occasionally letters or gifts. “It was a very large number of letters and parcels and the content of those was bizarre and demonstrated his obsessive interest in them with some sexual overtones.” Windsor, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, denies the charges on the basis that he was ‘insane’ at the time. But he has also dismissed the accusation that he caused both presenters ‘alarm or distress’, saying he was never told to stop sending them letters and gifts. Additionally, Windsor told police he had only been reported to them as a ‘publicity stunt’ by the complainants. Mr Sapwell said in August 2024, Ms Klass’s manager informed her there were concerns for her safety due to a number of items that had been posted to her by the defendant. He said: “These items sent were reported to the police. “She was then informed they had intercepted another parcel before it got to the studio in November 2023. “It was a package that contained an air pistol, and there was a note calling her a ‘naughty vixen’, inviting her to correct the defendant with a whip and a cane.” The prosecutor told the court Ms Breathwick started receiving letters and parcels in March 2020 from the defendant calling himself ‘Sir Peter Windsor’. Mr Sapwell said the complainant began noticing the ‘sheer quantity’ of material being sent to her and ‘how little sense’ some of the letters made. He continued: “Personal comments made about her appearance, including her eyes, made her feel he knew more about her. “It made her feel frightened. He was boasting about his physical presence, how strong and thick he was. Made her feel very uneasy.” Mr Sapwell told the court security at the radio studio decided to start screening Ms Breathwick’s mail as well as escort her to and from the premises. He stated in one letter Windsor told her how many pushups he had completed as well as sent her a ‘do it yourself write your own will’. The prosecutor added: “All of these items caused her to think about security at work but also at home with her husband. “She suffered panic attacks and poor health. “It even made her consider giving up the job she was doing as a radio presenter.” The jury was told that when Windsor was arrested, police found maps of London, black leather gloves, women’s stockings and binoculars in his bedroom. He claimed during the interview that he had sent certain items to Ms Klass as a ‘joke’ after seeing her in ‘provocative underwear in a newspaper’. Mr Sapwell said: “He didn’t accept Ms Klass had been genuinely frightened by them. “He said he thought he had been reported to the police because he said she was being blackmailed by the cost of living in London, appearing to suggest she needed a publicity stunt to raise money.” The prosecutor added that both presenters had tried to ‘prevent’ publicity of the case. The trial continues.
