Stalker who believed Strictly judge Ballas was his aunt given suspended sentence

A stalker who believed Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas was his aunt has been given a suspended prison sentence.
Kyle Shaw’s “persistent campaign” saw him send abusive messages and a “menacing” threat to Miss Ballas as well as her friends and colleagues.
Liverpool Crown Court heard the 37-year-old thought Miss Ballas’s late brother, David Rich, was his father.
Shaw, who admitted stalking the 64-year-old dancer, causing her serious harm or distress between 31 August 2017 and 29 November 2023, was sentenced to 20 months, suspended for 20 months.
Passing sentence, Judge Gary Woodhall said: “This was a menacing threat against her and her family.”
