Cheryl Tweedy's killer stalker turns up at house to try to meet her AGAIN: Convict is back in court after breaching restraining order
Cheryl Tweedy's stalker who left her 'fearing for her life' has flouted his restraining order and turned up at her house again, it has been reported.
Convicted killer Daniel Bannister, 50, is said to have visited the Buckinghamshire home she shares with her son Bear, eight, again last week.
It is understood he was arrested in a swoop on his bail hostel in Brixton, south London, The Sun has reported.
Bannister yesterday appeared at Reading Magistrates' Court to plead guilty to one count of breaching his restraining order.
District judge Davinder Sandhu remanded the 50-year-old in custody and sent the case to the town's crown court for sentencing on September 23.
It comes after Bannister was jailed for just 16 weeks in March for showing up at Cheryl's property while she grieved for Liam Payne.
Bannister, who served a two-and-a-half-year sentence for manslaughter after kicking and punching a neighbour to death in 2012, has repeatedly tried to contact Cheryl.
He was said to have become 'fixated' with the former X Factor judge, 41, who was left 'fearing for her life' by his obsessive behaviour.
In an previous statement provided to the Crown Prosecution Service, Cheryl said Bannister's repeated attempts to contact her left her feeling 'violated'.
She also said she feared for the safety of her son.
High Wycombe Magistrate's Court was previously told Bannister turned up at Cheryl's home on three occasions in January, July and December of last year.
Tweedy told police she 'immediately panicked' when she spotted Bannister outside her home.
'I knew this was Daniel because I have had previous incidents where Daniel has come to my property,' she told police at the time.
'I was concerned he was looking for a way into the property.'
The singer told officers her son was due back from the cinema, and did not want him to see the stalker, the court heard.
'I want to protect my child from any harm.'
District judge Arvind Sharma imposed a new indefinite restraining order on Bannister in March meaning that he could never contact Cheryl.
He was banned from entering any building where he suspects Tweedy to be present and could not contact her on social media.
At a previous hearing, Prosecutor Datta Ryan said Cheryl had recognised Bannister as he stood outside her home in December having pressed the entry intercom.
She said she feared he was going to scale the gate and called her personal security.
Bannister did not manage to get into the grounds of the mansion in Buckinghamshire.
In her statement to the CPS Tweedy said:' I feared for my safety and my child's safety.
'It causes me to panic. He is not allowed to be at my home.'
In 2012, Bannister was jailed for manslaughter after he killed his neighbour Rajendra Patel at a YMCA hostel in Croydon where they both lived.
The court heard both men suffered from mental health problems, with Mr Patel diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
The pair had a history of conflict after moving into adjacent rooms at the hostel for the homeless and vulnerable.
Bannister brutally punched and kicked Patel as he was walking towards a lift, breaking his ankle and nose and causing swelling to his face.
Patel died 15 days later after the assault from a pulmonary thromboembolism.
Jailing him, Judge Nicholas Price told Bannister he had not intended to cause serious injury or death but the assault was sustained.
He said he was not a danger to the public, but had no choice but impose a prison sentence.

Barbie star Margot Robbie reveals surprising activity she loves to do when she's in London
BARBIE actress Margot Robbie says she loves traipsing round London looking for ghouls. The Aussie, 34, revealed she gets spooked at The London Dungeon — but is too old for her former nightclub haunts. 1 She told a crowd at Glastonbury: 'Do you know what I do when my family comes down? The London Dungeons Tour. 'Has anyone else done that? Isn't it so good? It's so fun. I just love it — I have probably done it like four times.' Margot added: 'Then there is also a Ghosts, Galleries and Ghouls walking tour, which I highly recommend. 'It is so amazing — you'll be somewhere you walk around all the time and they will be like, 'There are 3,000-year-old skeletons under your feet right now.'' Margot, who was at Glastonbury with husband Tom Ackerley, revealed she no longer goes to her favourite London club Infernos in Clapham, where she used to live. She said at the Pilton Palais cinema: 'I'm 34 and I don't think they'd let me in. "They would be like, 'No go away old lady'. "Our roommate has a 99-year ban.'

I tested quirky snacks from hot honey Jaffa Cakes to spicy cookie dough bites – some could easily become regular buys
MARKS & Spencer has aced it by serving up a Wimbledon-inspired sweet sandwich – with shoppers queuing up to try it. Launched last week, the £2.80 Red Diamond Strawberry & Creme sarnie, made with strawberries, whipped cream cheese and sweetened bread, has been flying out of stores. 7 But that is not the only unexpected food offering this summer. If you thought a dessert sarnie – inspired by the viral Japanese fruit sando – was quirky, Charlotte Owen reveals other strange-flavoured snacks you might like to try. Subway Grand Slam £1.55 7 BE quick, this is available tomorrow only – to celebrate the start of the Wimbeldon tennis. The sandwich chain has piggy-backed the strawberries-and-cream trend after M&S's success. It describes its take as a 'delicious rally between sweet and savoury'. But the carb-heavy sub version of the viral sarnie may only catch the eye of people who were not able to get one of the Marks & Spencer version. While it offers a healthy dose of cream and strawberries, the amount of bread in a bite looks to be about double that of what you get inside. Subway hopes to serve a winner by giving away 500 of the overwhelming sandwiches for free at Wimbledon tomorrow. Or grab yours at other select branches of the chain. Greggs taste test Greggs Lemon Meringue Muffin 114g, £1.55 7 A LIGHT, sweet treat that does everything you would expect it to do. It is a cheap delight for those wanting to pick up a summery snack. With a bit of jam in the middle to give it a kick, the fresh lemon meringue icing on the top is a proper taste of summer and the lemon sherbet shards pack a punch. Greggs is known for its easy food on the go, and this is no exception. It's a quick stomach-filler for those out and about in the heat. Doughlicious Extra Flamin' Hot Cookie Dough & Gelato Bites 192g, £5 IF there is one thing you don't expect from gelato, it's a burst of heat – but that's what you get with these snacks. The birdseye chilli-infused cookie-dough coating works in tandem with the ghost chilli- infused gelato to create a fire-and-ice effect. It's an interesting idea but not everyone will like the extra kick that comes with the added spice. Gü Mango Chilli Cheesecake 2 x 96g, £3.75 HERE'S a combination that works just perfectly. The mango-chilli compote and mascarpone cheesecake make for an indulgent and tropical flavour profile with just a hint of heat. As if that is not decadent enough, the dessert also features layers of chocolate ganache, salted caramel and a sprinkle of crunchy chocolate pieces for an irresistible touch of texture and a base of cocoa biscuit. You can enjoy this five-layer treat cold or whack it in the microwave and experience its molten- chocolate centre. What's not to love? Pizza Express Hawaiian Hot Dough Balls £7.95 THIS take on a Pizza Express classic reignites the perennial debate about pineapples on pizza. The dough balls are served with crispy pancetta and pieces of the fruit, with a 'fiery' pineapple-and- Habanero sauce. If you like your Italian feast a bit sweet, this could well be just the thing for you. If you're on the other side of the debate, the bizarre flavour combination won't do anything to change your mind. The supposedly fiery sauce you get is not even hot enough to bring a kick to this unusual dish. 7 THE makers of the treat we all know and love have taken the biscuit and added a bit of spice. While orange and chocolate are already a great combination, the addition of hot honey is sure to delight those with an even sweeter tooth. These could easily become a regular buy on supermarket shopping trips.

Smiling Emma Raducanu & Carlos Alcaraz grow closer as pair spotted with arms round each other in pics for water brand
SMILING tennis aces Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz grow closer on and off court — and seem destined for a love match. Brit Emma, 22, put her arm around the world No.2 as he joined her as a global brand ambassador for bottled water Wimbledon sponsor Evian. 2 2 In another snap, the pair — due to partner at the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship in August — laughed on court and have a clear 'spark', insiders say. World No.38 Emma set tongues wagging when she was seen cheering on Wimbledon favourite Carlos, 22, at Queen's Club earlier this month. She tried to play down rumours of a blossoming relationship at a press conference yesterday, grinning as she insisted that she and Spaniard Carlos are 'just good friends'. The pair will team up at the Billie Jean King Tennis Centre in August as they both look to add a doubles success to their US Open singles titles. SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this week that the duo's relationship goes further than the court, but Raducanu insists there's no romance. When asked about it in her pre-Wimbledon press conference, the British star said while giggling: "We're just good friends". Raducanu is , who is hot off the heels of winning the French Open earlier this month. Recalling when Alcaraz asked her to join forces, Raducanu said: "I mean, of course, I had to ask my team if they wanted me to play. "But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn't just make the decision." On how they became friends, Raducanu added: "I've known him for years. "And actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021." Brit No.2 Katie Boulter, 28, said yesterday she feels 'safe' at Wimbledon after revealing she and her family have had death threats.
