A teenage school girl allegedly threatened to “murder” the family of Strictly Come Dancing star Claudia Fragapane after she was convicted of stalking the star.

The former professional gymnast, 27, was forced to leave her home after she was subjected to harassment by the 15 year old, who reportedly became obsessed with the star. The teenager, who can not be identified due to her age, was given a restraining order for stalking Claudia but was accused of breaching the terms of the order by posting on social media.

And due to the most recent allegation, she was arrested by police two days after posting on her chosen social media platform. It is believed that she told arresting officers at the time: “I’m going to murder all the family.”

The schoolgirl has denied breaching the restraining order at Bristol Magistrate’s Court.

Claudia appeared on Strictly in 2016 and was partnered with AJ Pritchard. At the time, the pair made it through to the semi-final. The case remains open.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Claudia was faced with no other option than to flee her home after being subjected to stalking by the unnamed teen.

At one point the schoolgirl found out where Claudia lived and appeared at her doorstep. Before the teenager was convicted of stalking, magistrates were informed that the former athlete’s sense of safety was non-existent as the incident had left her with “fear and anxiety.”

Despite a restraining order in place, the teenager allegedly attempted to instigate contact with Claudia, which landed her in trouble with police.

District Judge Lynne Matthews said, according to The Sun: “Claudia has no idea how [the defendant] found her. She left her own home because of her actions. She’s turned Claudia’s life upside down.”

The schoolgirl was issued with an 18-month rehabilitation order which states that she is required to live with her father, she has to be supervised for the duration and the restraining order was extended to forbid her from approaching Claudia at any location including her home.

Judge Lynne Matthews said: “I’d really like it if this was the last time you see me. Stay away from her [Claudia].”

The judge concluded that any breach of the rehabilitation order or extended restraining order may result in “detention.”

Claudia did not appear in court at the time.

The BBC declined to comment.
