James — Jay Cartwright in the Channel 4 comedy — was allegedly pursued by Keavy O'Mahoney near his home in Chelmsford, Essex.
Ms O'Mahoney, 26, of Stanford, Beds, was arrested and charged.
She was bailed at Luton magistrates' court on Thursday but banned from using any electronic devices to contact the couple.
She must also spend each night at home and is not allowed to leave without being accompanied by an adult approved by social services.
O'Mahoney will appear at Luton crown court on July 28.
James and Clair, both 37, have been married for 12 years.
They have two children and co-host a podcast called At Home With The Buckleys.
They have also appeared on Celebrity Gogglebox together.
James shot to fame as cocky Jay in the comedy hit — first screened in May 2008 — alongside Simon Bird, Joe Thomas and Blake Harrison.
The show's three series, which spawned two films, also kickstarted the career of TV favourite Emily Atack.
The Buckleys' representative declined to comment on the charges.

Why I'm certain new arrests in Lucy Letby case will finally prove her innocence and blow up in cops' face, claims expert
Cops are using 'diversionary tactics' to distract from potential hospital failures, an expert told The Sun LETBY PROBE Why I'm certain new arrests in Lucy Letby case will finally prove her innocence and blow up in cops' face, claims expert AS KILLER nurse Lucy Letby faces more charges over the deaths of babies at the hospitals where she worked, and more arrests are made, the case that shocked a nation continues to unravel. But an expert who believes Letby, 35, is being used as a scapegoat for possible hospital failings told The Sun that the new developments could help to prove her innocence. Advertisement 7 Lucy Letby is serving 15 whole-life orders for killing seven babies and attempting to murder seven others Credit: PA 7 The killer nurse has twice failed to appeal her convictions Credit: SWNS 7 Police have widened their investigation to look into gross negligence manslaughter for staff at the Countess of Chester Hospital Credit: Alamy Yesterday, Cheshire Constabulary confirmed that three people - who were in senior leadership roles at the Countess of Chester Hospital - had been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter as part of an investigation into the baby deaths and later bailed. And now Letby could face even further charges in connection with the deaths and collapses of babies at both the Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women's Hospital. Advertisement The nurse is already serving 15 whole-life orders for murdering seven babies in a year-long reign of terror. And she was also found guilty of trying to kill seven others - including one baby twice. But after the latest bombshell developments in the case, Professor Richard Gill, a statistical misrepresentation consultant, told The Sun: "I think this will blow up in the police's face." The professor has helped free multiple medical professionals wrongfully convicted of killing patients, including Dutch nurse Lucia de Berk and Italian nurse Daniela Poggiali. He has previously argued that he can also prove Letby's innocence. Advertisement Asked if he believes cops are diverting attention away from potential hospital failures or because there is a growing backlash against Letby's convictions, he said: "Both, I think." He added: "I think this is a move of desperation and a diversionary tactic by police. "They have been threatening this for a long time. So they have to do it to preserve face. They are doing it now in an attempt to regain control of the narrative." Lucy Letby cops arrest 3 senior members of leadership team at hospital where killer nurse murdered 7 babies Talking about how the arrests could help Letby's case, he says: "At least these persons will be able to afford top legal representation. "I think this will help Lucy a great deal. Those managers can pay top lawyers. They can fight back using the enormous doubts which now exist in the safety of Lucy's convictions." Advertisement The findings of the Thirlwall Inquiry - an examination into the events at the hospital at the time of the baby deaths for which Letby was convicted - are due in early 2026. Prof Gill said: "Police are interfering with the Thirlwall Inquiry. They should have waited until Thirlwall's report was ready." Asked if cops will be potentially worried about what the inquiry will reveal, he said: "No, just because the inquiry had the job of determining whether managers were to blame. "It's a legal issue. The police are interrupting a statutory inquiry. One branch of government disturbing what another is doing." Corporate manslaughter occurs when a company's gross negligence in managing or organising its activities leads to a person or persons' death. Advertisement What is the difference between corporate and gross negligence manslaughter? CORPORATE manslaughter is a criminal offence in England and Wales used to prosecute companies accused of causing a person or persons death. Corporate manslaughter is a relatively new offence under English law. The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act came into force across the UK in April 2008. Before this companies could be prosecuted for causing death under the offence of gross negligence manslaughter. But in order for the prosecution to be successful a senior individual in the company would also have to be accountable. The new act provided that the company itself could be found guilty of the offence. The Crown Prosecution Service says: "The offence was created to provide a means of accountability for very serious management failings across the organisation." Meanwhile, gross negligence manslaughter is a common law offence. It is committed where the death is a result of a grossly negligent (though otherwise lawful) act or omission on the part of the defendant, The Crown Prosecution says. The circumstances in which this offence may fall to be considered often involve death following medical treatment or care or death in custody. The ex-bosses have not been named by police, and cops were clear to say that this does not impact any of the killer nurse's convictions. Cheshire Police say their investigations into corporate and gross negligence manslaughter at the hospitals where the killer nurse worked continue. The probe, launched in 2023, is examining areas such as senior leadership and decision making to "determine whether any criminality has taken place". When police first announced hospital staff could face prosecution in March, Prof Gill had said he was convinced the deaths occurred due to changes introduced, which meant greater numbers of "doomed" patients were admitted to the ward where Letby worked. Prof Gill said: 'NHS statistics show that the increase in mortality can be fully explained by changes in admissions policy." Advertisement Earlier this year, an international panel of neonatologists and paediatric specialists said Letby's convictions were "unsafe" and told reporters bad medical care and natural causes were the reasons for the collapses and deaths. Their evidence has been passed to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), which investigates potential miscarriages of justice, and Letby's legal team hopes her case will be referred back to the Court of Appeal. 7 Prof Richard Gill is convinced Letby is innocent 7 A court sketch of Letby during her trial at Manchester Crown Court last year Credit: PA 7 A grab from footage of the serial baby killer's arrest Credit: PA Advertisement Between 2015 and 2016, two babies on the neo-natal unit were 'deliberately' poisoned with insulin, which was 'no accident'. Some of the other babies were killed or harmed when air or milk was injected into their bloodstream or via a tube in their stomachs. Letby, from Herefordshire, became a prime suspect when the number of baby deaths and catastrophic collapses at the hospital significantly rose. Consultants grew concerned when they realised the children who died had 'deteriorated unexpectedly'. Letby was found to be the "common denominator' among the deaths and collapses. Advertisement Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes, Senior Investigating Officer for Operation Duet, said today: 'In October 2023, following the lengthy trial and subsequent conviction of Lucy Letby, Cheshire Constabulary launched an investigation into corporate manslaughter at the Countess of Chester Hospital. 'This focuses on senior leadership and their decision making to determine whether any criminality has taken place concerning the response to the increased levels of fatalities. 'In March 2025, the scope of the investigation widened to also include gross negligence manslaughter. 'This is a separate offence to corporate manslaughter and focuses on the grossly negligent action or inaction of individuals. 'It is important to note that this does not impact on the convictions of Lucy Letby for multiple offences of murder and attempted murder. Advertisement 'As part of our ongoing enquiries, on Monday 30th June three individuals who were part of the senior leadership team at the CoCH in 2015-2016, were arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. 'All three have subsequently been bailed pending further enquiries. 'Both the corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter elements of the investigation are continuing and there are no set timescales for these. 'Our investigation into the deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at the neo-natal units of both the Countess of Chester Hospital and the Liverpool Women's Hospital between the period of 2012 to 2016 is also ongoing.' The killer nurse has lost two appeals against her convictions so far. Advertisement Last year, The Sun reported that the nurse was allowed to spend £901,817.45 on barristers and £818,497.92 on solicitors. In March, Letby called for the public inquiry into events surrounding her crimes to be suspended. Her solicitors wrote to inquiry chairwoman Lady Justice Thirlwall insisting her final report would be "likely unreliable" unless it was paused pending the outcome of the killer nurse's battle to prove her innocence. With an estimated £10million spent so far on the inquiry, the letter added it would be in the taxpayer's interest to wait for the outcome of the CCRC review before publishing the report. But the judge refused to pause the inquiry, though the report has been delayed from November to early next year.

Lily Allen admits she ‘can't remember' how many abortions she's had and says ‘I used to get pregnant all the time'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LILY Allen admitted she's lost count of the number of abortions she's had, and said she used to get pregnant "all the time". The singer, 40, opened up about pregnancies and motherhood to best pal Miquita Oliver, 41, on the latest edition of their podcast Miss Me? 4 Lily Allen has spoken out about her abortion history Credit: YouTube / BBC Sounds 4 She has two children from her marriage with Sam Cooper Credit: Getty Mum-of-two Lily began by revealing she's on her third or fourth contraceptive coil, describing life before them as a "complete disaster area". She said: "Yeah I'd get pregnant all the time, all the time." The provocative pop star then changed the lyrics to the Sinatra classic My Way, singing: "Abortions I've had a few... but then again... I can't remember exactly how many." Lily added: "I can't remember. I think maybe like, I want to say four or five." Former T4 presenter Miquita then chipped in, admitting she'd had the same amount. She said: "I've had about five too! Lily, I'm so happy I can say that and you can say it and no one came to shoot us down, no judgment. We've had about the same amount of abortions." Lily continued: "I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion, and me thinking it was so romantic." Miquita agreed with her assessment, but Lily told her she has changed her opinion over time. She now views it as a prudent financial decision, saying: "No, I don't think it's generous or romantic. Think about that investment, like that's, how much is it? 500 quid. Kids are a lot more expensive." Both women shared their frustration at feeling abortion is a taboo topic that shouldn't be discussed publicly. Lily Allen seen on 'date' with actor James Norton at festival after joining dating app "I felt really embarrassed to even say that I had more than one abortion," said Miquita. "Why the f*** should I be ashamed? I have had a few." Lily said: "It actually irritates me, and I've said it before on the record. I've seen memes going around sometimes, on Instagram from pro-abortion accounts or whatever, whenever this conversation comes up, and suddenly you start seeing people posting things about extraordinary reasons for having an abortion. "Like: 'My aunt had a kid that had this disability,' or whatever, 'if she went full term it was going to kill her, so we have to.' It's like, shut up! "Just: 'I don't want a f***ing baby right now.' Literally: 'Don't want a baby' is enough reason." Lily's children - Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11 - are from her relationship with ex-husband Sam Cooper. She came under fire last this year for saying that having kids "ruined" her music career. 4 Miquita Oliver said she's had the same number of abortions as pal Lily Credit: BBC 4 Lily is single after splitting from husband David Harbour in December Credit: Getty She said: 'I love them and they complete me, but in terms of pop stardom, they totally ruined it. 'I get really annoyed when people say you can have it all because, quite frankly, you can't.' Lily also opened up about her own childhood, calling it a "painful" time due to her film producer mum's career keeping her away from the family home. She said: "Did it have an effect on us as children? Yes it did. Do I hold that against her, no I don't - although it was pretty painful at the time." Lily continued: "People pitched in and they helped and I just don't think that sort of thing is available to us now." More recently, the Smile singer split from actor husband David Harbour in December after spending months living apart. She has been single since, but two weeks ago she was pictured moving on with Brit star James Norton as they shared a kiss at Lido Festival, London. One onlooker said: 'James and Lily looked very into each other and they were snogging backstage. 'We were all quite surprised to see them there together, let alone kissing. 'I don't think they've even known each other that long, but it was a fun hang-out backstage and they got taken away by the vibe.'
