MP Sir Jake Berry says stalker who said she was having his baby turned up at his home

Rossendale & Darwen MP Sir Jake Berry has described the moment a woman who had become fixated on him turned up at his home with a suitcase hoping to run away with him.

In a candid interview, Sir Jake touched on his battle with depression and how his wife - a former aide to Boris Johnson - dealt with post-natal depression. The Conservative MP, who was first elected in 2010 when he ousted Labour's Janet Anderson, married his second wife Alice in May 2018.
