REGIONAL TV presenter Carol Malia has told of a stalker who made her life a misery.
She revealed the man sent chilling letters to her home in which he detailed her movements and threatened to attack her with a knife.
And she said the stalker who sent them is still at large.
He was one of two men pestering the 34-year-old Look North presenter at the same time. Police have arrested the second man and he is receiving psychiatric help.
BBC bosses, fearful of a repeat of the Jill Dando murder, called in police after she received a particularly nasty letter from the man threatening to attack her with a knife.
It was one of three letters sent to her former home in Tynemouth, North Tyneside, over a six-month period.
