Singer HAYLEY
WESTENRA was forced to employ the
former bodyguard of ex-SPICE GIRL VICTORIA
BECKHAM to protect
her from a German stalker. The New Zealand-born
Westenra resented having to ask for help but
decided it was safer when the obsessed man
started telling people he was in a relationship
with her. She says, "I am quite put off
having to have a bodyguard. "I had seen the German
at several of my concerts round the world and
might have smiled at him. "I thought he
was a fan of my singing,
but when he told the crew he was my boyfriend,
they sensed something was wrong as he was about
40 and I'm only 18. "When he queued
for my autograph they challenged him and he became
abusive and violent. The police came and took
him away and I believe he was deported. "At
least the minder is a hunky man to have around."
