Stalker who ‘terrified’ Cheryl imprisoned, like girls out loud, the singer feared for her and the security of her son

A man who stalked the Pop Cheryl star has been imprisoned for 16 weeks after leaving it “terrified.”

Girl singer aloud said she feared for her and her son’s security after Daniel Bannister appeared at her Buckinghamshire home last December.

Bannister was already forbidden to do so after receiving a restriction order and a four -month prison sentence last September, after visiting the property twice in early 2024, in January and July.

The High Wycombe Magistrates Court listened to Bannister, who, according to the reports, killed a man in 2012, “cannot be kept away” from Cheryl.

The 50 -year -old defendant admitted to having gone to the 41 -year -old man’s house and playing the bell at the door on December 10.

Cheryl “immediately panicked” when he saw him out of his property for the third time, and his son Bear, seven years old, was told the court.

Cheryl ‘wants to protect the child from damage’

Speaking about the December visit in a statement to the police, the singer said: “He knew he was Daniel because I had previous incidents in which Daniel has come to my property.

“I immediately panicked when I saw Daniel. I feared for my safety and the safety of my son. My son should return from the cinema and did not want him to see Daniel.

“I worried that I was looking for a road on the property. I want to protect my son from any damage.”

Death of Liam Payne

The former singer’s companion, Liam Payne, died last October in Buenos Aires, Argentina, after falling from his balcony of the third floor hotel.

He described the death of the former One Direction star as “indescribablely painful”, since he expressed fears of protecting his son.

On Friday, Bannister was sentenced by two positions of harassment related to the violation of a restriction order, and a position to try to violate a restriction order.

The district judge Arvind Sharma also handed Bannister a new restriction order, forbidding him to contact the singer.

Judge Sharma said Bannister knew that the star was “very distressed and annoyed” for what he was doing.

The January 2024 visit

In the January 2024 visit, the court was told that Bannister spoke through an intercom system at the door, claiming that he had “come to look for Cheryl.”

“He said ‘It’s Daniel, I’ve come to look for Cheryl,” said prosecutor Datta Ryan to the court.

“He was terrified and contacted his security guard. He felt raped, terrified and insecure in his own home.”

July 2024

In July of the same year, Bannister called the house again.

The singer was at home with her son when she saw Bannister outside again.

“She called her brother,” Ryan said. “The defendant was standing out of his property and remained there.”

‘I want a glass of wine’

Speaking about the intercom, he said: “I am very thirsty, I just want a glass of wine, please,” the court heard.

“The defendant has ignored the victim and the court,” Ryan said.

“You can’t stay away.”

Speaking about the third visit to his house, Bannister’s lawyer, Colin Mackrell, said: “He wanted to solve things to reassure her.”

Bannister, who was described by Mr. Mackrell as a “serious musician”, has already turned three months in prison, according to the court, and could be released in a matter of weeks.

He killed Rajendra Patel, 48, in an attack on a southern London shelter in 2012 and declared himself guilty of involuntary homicide, The Sun reported.
