MYLEENE Klass today told a court she felt “sheer terror” after allegedly being targeted by a stalker who sent her gifts.
Peter Windsor is accused of hounding the former popstar and her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick over a four-year period.

The 61-year-old allegedly sent Myleene items with “sexual overtones” – including a Catwoman outfit and set of handcuffs.
He also called her a “naughty vixen” and sent a police uniform to the Classic FM studio, Birmingham Crown Court heard.
Giving evidence today, Myleene said she was informed in an email in August last year that an “accumulation” of items had been sent to her.
The 47-year-old became upset when she was asked about being told how Royal Mail had “intercepted” an air pistol addressed to her.
She said “it just felt extreme on every front” after she was shown a list of items and photographs of letters Windsor allegedly sent.
Myleene added: “It was very clear very quickly that it was a highly volatile selection of items.
“It was a huge shock, especially the extent to which it had escalated.
“It was pretty overwhelming when you have the accumulation of a bundle of this information. It’s pretty terrifying.”
The ex-Hear’Say star described the overall context of all the items as “pretty bleak”.
She added: “It’s a huge violation. It’s sheer terror really.”
Myleene told the court how she was informed by police in September last year that an air gun had been intercepted by the Royal Mail.
She continued: “He said to me that whilst the gun wasn’t necessary for a licence in this country, at such close proximity right up to 6ft it could prove fatal and police took it very seriously.
“I was extremely shocked because suddenly it felt extremely real.
“This was very clear what the intention was. There was no grey area here.
“It’s a gun in a box with my name on it.”
The court was told Windsor also stalked Myleene’s Classic FM co-presenter Katie Breathwick.
She is said to have received a stamp collection, bottle of champagne, a will-writing kit and running shoes with spikes on among other bizarre letters and parcels.
Police later arrested Windsor at his home in Birmingham and found a number of items that caused them concern.
They included a map of London where the women worked, a pair of black leather gloves, ladies stockings and a pair of binoculars.
Windsor later told police he sent Klass items as a joke after seeing her in “provocative underwear” in a newspaper.
He denies two counts of stalking and the trial continues.
