Faye Winter has revealed that she was stalked by a man she had rejected after a couple of dates, who left her feeling ‘unsafe’ after repeatedly turning up at her house.

The former Love Island star, 29, opened up on Tuesday’s episode of Paul C Brunson’s podcast We Need to Talk, detailing how the terrifying ordeal occurred after she’d decided to rejoin the dating scene.

Faye explained how she had gone on two dates with the man before deciding to call things off, but he had not taken no for an answer and turned up uninvited to her home.

She recalled her distress at the situation that left her ‘crying down the phone’ to her sister and feeling unsafe in her house. 

Fay began: ‘I wanted to be celibate for a year and I did that, very easy actually. But I then met somebody just out and about and he wasn’t my usual type. 

‘He wasn’t someone I usually go for, but everyone I’ve gone for in my past that is my type has not worked out, so let’s go for someone for their heart and rather than what they look like.

She continued: ‘And I went on a couple of dates and the next thing I know he’s turning up at my house uninvited.’ 

‘And not just once, it was multiple times to the point that I felt unsafe. He might have been seeing this as a really romantic gesture, but to me I felt it was so weird and I felt so at odds with it.

‘The first time, I looked out and saw him stood there and was like this is so weird. At this point I had already told him sorry this isn’t going anywhere, I’m not feeling it, this isn’t something I’m going forward with.” And then he turns up at my house with a bread basket. 

‘In my head I was thinking “what the f***?” to begin with but also like it’s sweet I suppose? And he asked to come in and I said it’s not convenient, and he was like “have you got someone in there with you?” and I said “It’s not about that, you’re not coming into this safe space”. 

‘He just didn’t want me to end the dating situation. And we’d only been on two dates, like it’s not that deep but I felt really awkward.

‘And then the next month I got stuff sent to my house and then he turned up again. And then he turned up again when my friend was there and helping me pack up my boxes to move house. 

‘And I think because I’d put I was moving on my Instagram, it triggered him that he wouldn’t know where I was going to go to. 

‘My friend answered the door and pretended to be looking after Bonnie and was really good at thinking on her feet, because she knew I was uncomfortable.’

Paul explained that it was a clear stalking and gave a definition, with Faye adding: ‘Yeah he’s a stalker then… the last time it happened I was at home alone and I saw him walking up my drive’

Faye recalled: ‘I was hiding in my utility room in my house. I just thought it was a bit weird and a bit strange, I wanted my friend to stay with me and he disappeared. 

‘But then he came back again that same day and gave her some cookies, that I’d put on my Instagram were my favourite type of cookies. And then he sent some presents for Bonnie for her birthday.

‘It was strange behaviour, I don’t know the definition of stalking. I hadn’t really thought about it like that.

Paul explained that this was a clear stalking and gave a definition, with Faye adding: ‘Yeah he’s a stalker then. It was right up until the moment I moved house. 

‘So the last time it happened I was at home alone. I had just got back from my holidays and I was sat on my sofa watching Emily In Paris and I saw him walking up my driveway. And I couldn’t believe it because he lived hours away from me, there was no reason for him to be in the area. 

‘And this one really did distress me because I rang my sister literally crying, “He’s here, he’s here again. Why the f*** won’t he leave me alone? What the f*** does he want?”‘ 

She continued: ‘This one really did distress me because I rang my sister literally crying, “He’s here, he’s here again. Why the f*** won’t he leave me alone? What the f*** does he want?”‘

‘It makes my skin crawl when I think about it. I just hope that I don’t see him again. If he finds my new house, then that is a problem,’ she said

Faye added: ‘And she and her boyfriend jumped in their car and came to my house. And he’d left a bone outside, I ᴀssume for Bonnie, but it was just a bit weird. So we put it in the bin.

‘I gave my sister’s boyfriend his number because at this point I’ve sent him I’ve sent him a text before saying “this is now weird, it has to stop. I haven’t spoken to you for months, this has to stop. I don’t know at what point you realise that this isn’t okay. I haven’t responded, we haven’t spoken you’re turning up to my safe space and this is now not okay”. 

‘I don’t know what my sister’s boyfriend did with his number, he’s never spoken to me about it and I don’t really want to be reminded of it. 

‘It makes my skin crawl when I think about it. I just hope that I don’t see him again. If he finds my new house, then that is a problem.’
