The Wright Stuff host Matthew Wright has opened up about his terrifying ordeal with a stalker who turned up to his house

Matthew, who has recently welcomed his first child with his wife Amelia, spoke on his talkRADIO show about how the unnamed woman’s obsessive actions had led to Amelia feeling unsafe in her own home.

"Things started escalating from her thinking that I was looking at her in suggestive ways,” he said.

"She started turning up at events where some of my better-known friends were and talking to them, and of course repeated visits to [my] home.

"Amelia with a newborn baby feels really under threat from her.

"I don't feel physically under threat from her at all. I really don't want her to be be nicked for it.

"I want her to get help, but the trouble is that mental health services are not what they once were, despite all the pledges of cash from government.

"She has conjured up in her mind the notion that she and I have some kind of connection, some kind of relationship.

"I've had people that know her intercede and say 'you really shouldn't keep pursuing this, it's really unfair on Matthew and his wife and the newborn baby' and she says she's not going to hassle me anymore, and then she hassles me some more."

Back in 2013, Matthew starred in the 13th series of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! alongside Kian Egan and Joey Essex.

“We’ve had three weeks of ‘all about Joey’, which gets quite boring,” he told The Sun after his exit. “Every question I was asked was about Joey. If it was ‘How was your dinner?’ the next question was ‘How was Joey’s dinner?’"

“You could see he was being given special treatment. We were only allowed a few towels, but he had as many as he liked. He seemed to be able to ask for them from producers whenever he felt like it and they just dealt them out."
