Creepy stalker left Cheryl Tweedy 'terrified' weeks after Liam Payne funeral
Daniel Bannister, 50, has been locked up after turning up at the star's home
A convicted killer who left Girls Aloud star Cheryl Tweedy 'terrified' when he turned up at her home has been locked up.
Creepy Daniel Bannister went to the former ITV The X Factor star's Buckinghamshire home even though he was banned from contacting her.

One on occasion he said "I’ve come to get Cheryl", while another time he said "I just want a glass of wine".
The stalker then went to her home a third time, leaving Cheryl 'immediately panicked'.
Wycombe Magistrates' Court heard how the 50-year-old pest 'can’t stay away' from the mum-of-one.

Bannister went to Cheryl's home and spoke through an intercom at about 7.30pm in January last year.
Prosecutor Datta Ryan said: "He said "it’s Daniel, I’ve come to get Cheryl". She was terrified and contacted her security guard.
"She felt violated, terrified and unsafe in her own home."
In July, the singer was at home with her son Bear when she saw Bannister outside once again.
Ms Ryan said: "She called her brother. The defendant was standing outside her property and remained there."
Speaking over the intercom, he said "I’m really thirsty I just want a glass of wine please".
Bannister was handed a restraining order, along with a four-month prison sentence last September.
But he breached the order when he turned up at the property again and rang the bell on December 10 last year.
The prosecutor said: "The defendant has disregarded the victim and the court. He can’t stay away."
In a statement to police, Cheryl, 41, said: "I knew this was Daniel because I have had previous incidents where Daniel has come to my property.
"I immediately panicked when I saw Daniel. I feared for my safety and my child’s safety. My son was due back from the cinema and I didn’t want him to see Daniel.
"I was concerned he was looking for a way into the property. I want to protect my child from any harm."
Colin Mackrell, defending, described Bannister as a 'serious musician' who shares videos of himself performing online.
He said: "It’s clear Mr Bannister has formed an affectionate view of her."
Speaking about the third visit to her home, Mr Mackrell said: "He wanted to sort things out to reassure her."
Bannister asked the judge if he could read a statement to the court but was advised not to by his lawyer.
Bannister admitted two counts of harassment relating to the breach of a restraining order and one count of attempting to breach a restraining order.
Sentencing, District Judge Arvind Sharma said: "You knew from the last case that she was very distressed and upset and you still chose to do that again."
The judge also handed Bannister a new restraining order, banning him from contacting the singer when he appeared in court on Friday, March 14.
The court heard Bannister has already served three months in prison so could be released in a matter of weeks.
Kathleen O’Callaghan, from the Crown Prosecution Service said: "The unwanted attention of offenders like Bannister can leave victims feeling alarmed and fearful.
"Bannister plainly disregarded a previous restraining order, and the Crown Prosecution Service argued these deliberate breaches were made more serious by the fact that they were committed so shortly after the order was made.
"As a result, Bannister now faces a longer prison term with an indefinite restraining order placed on him."
The convict killed 48-year-old Rajendra Patel in an attack at a south London YMCA shelter in 2012, admitting manslaughter.
