A man who stalked actress Claire Foy has been given a 22-month suspended jail sentence.

Jason Penrose, 49, sent Ms Foy more than 1,000 emails within a month and appeared outside her north London home, a court previously heard.

In November, Penrose admitted stalking and breaching a stalking ban.

His sentencing hearing at the Old Bailey was delayed from last month after warnings that he would continue to contact 38-year-old Ms Foy.
