Stephanie Davis was stalked for months by an obsessed fan who has now been jailed.
The former Hollyoaks star, 28, appeared on Monday's episode of This Morning to discuss the horrific ordeal, which happened at her home which she shares with her son Caben.
Stephanie told hosts Phillip Schofield and Rochelle Humes it started in March last year.

She said: “There were daffodils left outside my drive. That was the first time it started. My little boy Caben saw them and said, ‘Mummy, can we take them inside?’ And I didn’t think anything of it, so I let him put them in the plant pot.
"Now, on reflection, if he was watching me, he [the stalker] saw that as a sign of acceptance and it just carried on.
"The daffodils kept coming back."
Later, Stephanie was inundated with Instagram messages from fake accounts.
She continued: "[It was] constant, I can't tell you how many there were.
"I’d block them and he’d make another one. There were lengthy messages and disturbing, that’s when I started to notice.”
Rochelle said the content of the stalker’s message was that he was convinced they should be together.
Stephanie said: "As soon as he mentioned Caben - and he left presents for Caben - my blood started to boil. I was really scared. I was a single mum, living at home on my own - petrifying. I had to leave my home with Caben - our safe place was violated."
Police traced the social media accounts back to Alex Boston and brought him in for questioning on 28 July 2021.
He was also identified from the CCTV footage and his fingerprints were found on one of the letters.
On Friday, Boston, of Lyons Road, Moreton, was jailed for 28 weeks after pleading guilty to stalking and harassment.
A restraining order also prevents him from contacting Ms Davis or going near her home until further notice.
Stephanie said she has now been able to sleep properly for the first time in more than a year.
