Victoria Beckham was left afraid to go out of her house after a stalker tried to collect her daughter from school, a court has heard.

And the Spice Girl, 48, said she also feared for 11-year-old Harper’s safety as a result of Sharon Bell’s actions.

Bell, 58, sent Victoria’s husband David threatening letters and turned up at the family’s homes during a five-month period last year.

They culminated with Bell appearing at the school, claiming: “I’m Harper’s mother. I’m here to pick her up.”
