MEL: SS1ST I’VE HAD TO CALL COPS ON STALKERS Threats after This Morning

MELINDA Messenger had to call the police to deal with stalkers – and even had death threats over a TV appearance.

The glamour girl, 52 – now a psychotherapist – was targeted by creeps who became fixated on her in her days as a pin-up.

Former Page 3 girl Mel told the Daily Star Sunday: “I’ve had stalkers and I’ve had to get police involved.”

She added: “It was all dealt with really well, and quickly, and one of the people was found and identified, so it was resolved.”

Mel also said she had death threats after appearing on This Morning with Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby in 2013 to discuss why she wouldn’t let her daughter have the HPV vaccine.

She was “shocked” at the way she was treated with “anger and hostility” for her views.

Mel joined Gareth Thomas on Friday for the Ben Nevis leg of his Three Peaks climb challenge for his Tackle HIV campaign.

She said: “My friends living with HIV are fit, well and healthy. The reality of living with it is that it’s a very different situation now.

“The more people who feel comfortable having these conversations and the more people who feel comfortable in getting tested, the more it allows barriers to be broken down.

“I think it’s really important to know now that the treatments have rapidly and radically changed over the years, so that people who do have HIV can live a really healthy, normal life, and fear doesn’t need to be there in the way it was.”

The mum-of-three, who recently proudly sported grey locks on social media, has faced “stigma” for being a pin-up.

But she said: “I don’t focus on it or give it too much attention. Most of the public are lovely.”
