Peter Andre wishes he could "eliminate" the issue of celebrity stalking
The 52-year-old pop star had heard of some recent incidents of fellow famous faces being followed relentlessly but insisted that the problem has been going on "for years" and he wants to find a way to stop it, especially in the age of social media

Writing in his OK! Magazine column, he said: "Following the news that a man has admitted to stalking 'Strictly' judge Shirley Ballas, I've seen a lot of stories about stalking- with tennis player Emma Raducanu also having an unpleasant incident.
"It's really interesting because stalking has been going on for years. I remember the 1992 movie, 'The Bodyguard', focused on the stalking of celebrities.
"Social media isn't helping, as it makes it easier to track someone down. But this has been going on for a long time and I hope we find a way to eliminate this sort of thing. My thoughts are with both Shirley and Emma."
Peter's comments come shortly after Kyle Shaw, 37, pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown Court to stalking Shirley over the course of six years.
He has been given conditional bail ahead of sentencing on April 1, after he admitted to causing serious harm or distress to the TV star between August 2017 and November 2023.
Meanwhile, sports star Emma, 22, was concerned that she was being followed by a man when she spotted him at the Women's Tennis Association and he was ejected from the court after she broke down in tears.
Following the incident, she wrote on Instagram: "Difficult experience yesterday but I'll be okay and proud of how I came back and competed despite what happened at the start of the match."
