AN obsessive fan of David Walliams could be sent to jail today for harassing the star.

Sarah Bartholomew, 29, repeatedly tried to contact him despite being ordered not to, Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court in London heard.

Even after being warned she could face jail, she hand-delivered a letter and gifts to the Little Britain star’s home and bombarded his agent with text messages.

Her case was adjourned last month for a psychiatric report to be prepared.

Bartholomew, from Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, pleaded guilty at a hearing in April to harassing Walliams between last October and February this year, and was released on bail.

Her obsession with the comedian began in 2004, the court has heard.

She was seen hanging around the BBC, where he worked, and outside his home at all hours, and sent the comedian letters, many of them sexually explicit.

Late last year the star’s solicitors wrote to her ordering her not to contact him.

In response she sent large numbers of emails to the lawyers and to Walliams’s agent, Carl Hill.

The messages became more aggressive, and one said: "David knows what’s coming to him."

Bartholomew also sent the TV star underwear, cuddly toys, chocolates and DVDs.

In one message to him she said: "I’d rip off your pants in a sexual frenzy. You can have me how you want - I’m ever so bendy."

She was arrested on May 3 for witness intimidation after sending text messages to Mr Hill and hand-delivering items to the star’s home.

The court heard she sent two computer memory sticks to Walliams containing documents running to more than 1,000 pages.

She was released on bail again on May 6 but that same day Walliams’s agent again received messages from her.

Two days later she was arrested for breaching her bail conditions and remanded in custody at Holloway Prison.

Adjourning sentencing on May 30, Deputy District Judge David Miller warned he would have given her a "significant" jail term if he was passing sentence
