Howard Donald fears for his life after receiving death threats from stalker

Take That star Howard Donald has reportedly been left fearing for his life after a crazed female stalker bombarded him with death threats.

The 39-year-old father of two has bumped up his security - after the fan, known only as  Kendra started tracking his every move and penning "evil" hate mail.

A source close to the 'Shine' star said: "It started several months back when she started telling him she was his future wife.

"This woman went everywhere the band did - and she literally turned up at every hotel where the band were staying on tour.

"Lately she has become really nasty and some of the things she says in her letters are plain evil and some have even contained death threats."

Donald's Take That bandmates Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Gary Barlow, are said to be so concerned for the singer's safety, they have begged him to hire Beyoncé Knowles 400lb ex-minder 'Shorty'.

The source added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "As well as the murderous threats, she writes all sorts of kinky stuff that she wants to do to Howard.

"She is completely fixated with him so the other band members have told Howard he needs someone like Shorty."
