Claire Foy's stalker who left her scared to go out sticks middle finger up as he walks away from court

A "delusional" stalker has received a suspended sentence and will be extradited to the United States after leaving actress Claire Foy feeling "fearful".

Jason Penrose, 49, was handed a sentence of one year and 10 months imprisonment - suspended for two years - at the Old Bailey on Friday. In November he admitted to stalking The Crown actress between August 2021 and February 2022.

He also pleaded guilty to two charges of breaching an interim stalking ban order by posting a letter and parcel to the Stockport-born actress. In July, Penrose was handed a stalking protection order after sending Foy thousands of emails and even turning up at her door.
