Coronation Street's Nicola Thorp recalls terrifying moment her 'grim reaper' stalker was 'close enough to smell her' during two-year ordeal
The actress, 36, who played Nicola Rubinstein in the soap, was stalked and terrorised for two years between 2018 and 2020 by a man who called himself her 'personal grim reaper'.
In an emotional witness statement, the actress told of her paranoia as the stalker referred to himself as the 'Grim Reaper' as he used 25 different identities to target her and made sickening threats to choke and rape her. 'I lived in fear that this anonymous man who had hounded me for years was in fact someone I knew,' Ms Thorp told the court, as reported by The Sun. Sentencing Dhillon, Judge Rosa Dean said that she was 'quite sure' he had targeted Ms Thorp because of her celebrity alongside her 'determination to call out abusive and misogynistic behaviour'.
