Nothing surprises me anymore....

Television personality Rory McGrath has admitted stalking a married woman for more than a year.
McGrath, 60, of Grantchester Street, Cambridge, pleaded guilty at Huntingdon Magistrates' Court, in Cambridgeshire.
He had been charged with following the woman, sending electronic messages and approaching her in the street.
In November McGrath denied a charge of stalking without causing fear, alarm or distress, but he changed his plea on the first day of his trial.
The offences happened in Cambridge over a 14-month period between June 2015 and August last year.

Prosecutors said McGrath sent letters to the woman's husband ???

They think it's all over.....

It is now...

I knew him a bit when I used to live in Cambridge. He's quite a difficult character - you never knew which Rory to expect. On many occasions, he was brilliant company - very pleasant, generous and with some cracking stories from the entertainment industry. On other occasions, though, he could be belligerent and thoroughly unpleasant. There was no real pattern.

Did he follow you around?

I have him down as a very intelligent man with a superb memory - is that true ? Clearly not much common sense or self-control, though.

Incredibly intelligent, with a great memory. Like many people who have found fame for one thing or another, there was always a slight undertone of arrogance. I don't think he lacks common sense, but I do think his fame perhaps made him that he could say things or behave in a manner that others couldn't.

Sounds a bit like Donald Trump ... only with a brain :)

When I read about this my first thought was there's more to it than just stalking , I think maybe he and this lady had a fling , she ended it and went back to the husband but Rory with all his arrogance couldn't take that it was over..........

Someone I know who worked with him in television described him as a nasty shit, so no this doesn't surprise me

On reading this thread I thought that he had stalked a stranger, but they had had a relationship for 5 years. I'm not condoning it but it is not unusual for some blokes to do this. It's creepy but not as creepy as the stranger creepy.

He didn't admit to stalking, he admitted to the "lesser" charge of harassment. They'd been having an affair for 5 years, she called it off, and he just refused to accept it was over. Even phoned her husband at work to tell him what a joke he was, apparently.

Nice character.
