Kate Ritchie's stalker stress: Home and Away star looks strained as she is seen for the first time after she was forced to call the cops after man bombarded her with sexual messages and videos


Kate Ritchie has been seen for the first time in public after she received 'hundreds' of sexually explicit texts and videos from a stranger before he flew from Perth to track her down.

Earlier this month, it was revealed Ritchie made a phone call to NSW Police after receiving a message from Gerard Ryan, 71, which said he was in the suburb where she lives and hoped to find her. Ryan's obsession with the TV star began last year when he started posting on her social media accounts comments including 'Hello Kate … I love you so much'. Before his arrest, Ryan posted on Facebook images from his trip to Sydney, including an Eastern Suburbs hotel, the Australian National Maritime Museum and Waverley Cemetery.
