Singer Lily Allen’s mentally ill stalker sectioned by judge

A mentally ill stalker who broke into British pop star Lily Allen’s bedroom, forcing her to leave the family home for good, has been sectioned by a judge.

Alex Gray’s campaign of abuse also involved making contact with the singer on social media, handing her offensive letters and a “romantic CD”, and accusing her of “stealing” lyrics he had written.

The 31-year-old, of Perth, showed no emotion as he was handed an indeterminate hospital order and restraining order for burglary and stalking at Harrow Crown Court, London, yesterday.
